VEA Capital Partners Announces Strategic Investment in StraTech to Transform Africa’s Enterprise Financial Infrastructure

Cape Town, South Africa – 12 August 2025 — VEA Capital Partners, the private investment division of VEA Group, has announced a strategic investment in StraTech, a full-stack enterprise fintech infrastructure company that is redefining how payments, reconciliation, and treasury systems function across Africa’s most dynamic industries.

StraTech is not just another fintech play. Built by a seasoned team with decades of experience in enterprise payments and financial systems, the company delivers deeply integrated, enterprise-grade infrastructure designed for scale and regulation-heavy environments such as gaming, healthcare, hospitality, and logistics. Unlike bolt-on platforms, StraTech’s architecture embeds directly into clients’ financial ecosystems—simplifying complexity, strengthening compliance, and enabling real-time visibility into the flow of funds.

“They’re not building for the hype cycle. They’re building the rails the future will run on,” said Zander de Witt, Co-Founder and Managing Director of VEA Capital Partners.

That belief in long-term value, rather than short-term trend, is what drove VEA Capital Partners to back StraTech.The company’s ability to orchestrate multi-party payments, automate three-way reconciliation, and deliver secure, compliant, real-time treasury oversight reflects a deep understanding of the operational pain points facing large-scale businesses across Africa.

“You don’t often find a tech business this deep under the hood,” added Marno Nel, Founder and Group Managing Director of VEA Group. “They’re not trying to be the face of fintech. They’re quietly becoming the engine.”

This investment will unlock StraTech’s next phase of growth, enabling the expansion of its core platform into new verticals and regions, accelerating enterprise sales and strategic partnerships across Southern Africa, and further enhancing its suite of embedded compliance and treasury tools. The capital will also support the recruitment of strategic talent across engineering, operations, and go-to-market functions.

In the next 12 to 18 months, StraTech plans to launch its Payment Orchestration Suite into three additional industries, integrate AI-driven risk profiling into its reconciliation engine, expand into two new African markets, and co-develop loyalty infrastructure for a major leisure brand.

This is not growth for growth’s sake it’s scale with substance. StraTech exemplifies the kind of business VEA Capital Partners seeks to back: founder-led, execution-focused, and built to lead entire categories through infrastructure and intelligence.

We’ve spent the past decade helping build businesses that didn’t just scale fast, they scaled well. With discipline. With purpose. With teams that cared as much about impact as they did about numbers. So when we study what’s happening in the UAE, we don’t just see opportunity. We see alignment.
When we founded VEA Capital Partners in January 2025, we made a deliberate decision, our first investment wouldn’t just be strategic, it would be symbolic. It would represent what we stand for: human-centred capital, conviction-led partnerships, and long-term value over short-term hype. That decision led us straight to Safari Architects.
Our second strategic investment is Apex Underwriters, a bold new player reimagining insurance with data, insight, and agility. Here’s why Apex is poised to shift the landscape of underwriting in South Africa.
