SA Venture Exit Registry & Benchmarking Service
A curated, licensed database and advisory service that documents every verifiable SA venture exit (acquisition, IPO, secondary sale, strategic investment round) with standardized deal terms, valuation multiples, buyer profiles, and founder outcomes. Founders and investors query real comparable exits; the service provides quarterly benchmarking reports showing sector-specific exit multiples, time-to-exit, and investor IRRs.
37 weeks • 70% confidence
Value Proposition
Replaces guesswork with audited, comparable data. Investors can show LPs that SA exits ARE happening and at what multiples; founders can model realistic outcomes and pitch with confidence. No equivalent service exists in SA—international databases (PitchBook, Crunchbase) miss local deals and lack deal-term granularity.
Target Audience
VC fund managers (Series A–C), LP advisors evaluating SA funds, and growth-stage founders (18–36 months pre-exit) seeking realistic exit scenarios
Key Features
- Searchable exit database (buyer, sector, valuation multiple, time-to-exit, founder payout %)
- Quarterly sector benchmarks (SaaS, fintech, agritech, etc.) showing median exit multiples and IRR by investor type
- Founder exit outcome profiles (e.g., 'founder retained 40% post-exit, took 6yr time-to-exit, 3.2x MOIC')
- And more, with full implementation detail...

South African startups struggle to achieve venture capital exits and demonstrate investor returnsSouth African founders and VC investors lack proven exit pathways and track records for successful venture exits, making it difficult to attract capital and validate business models. Current ecosystem gaps mean startups can't demonstrate meaningful returns to investors, creating a chicken-and-egg problem where limited exits discourage future VC funding. This directly impacts founders' ability to scale and investors' confidence in the local market.
