TLcom Capital, an Africa-focused venture capital firm, has appointed Eloho Omame as a Partner. Eloho is a Co-Founder & General Partner at FirstCheck Africa, a female-focused early-stage venture capital firm that has to-date invested in ten high-growth tech start-ups with a female founder or co-founder. Eloho will combine her new role at TLcom with her existing responsibilities at FirstCheck Africa, which was founded in January 2021 to address the severe funding gap for Africa’s female tech entrepreneurs. TLcom will also support the launch of FirstCheck Africa’s $10m debut fund with a $2m co-investment commitment from its TIDE Africa Fund II. TLcom has seen the benefits of an early-stage approach through the success of both new and repeat founders in TIDE Africa Fund I.
