Adaeze Okoye
Founder & CEO
Former strategy consultant. Built the original advisory practice that became Vestar.
How we got here.
Vestar Space started inside a consulting practice. Our founders spent years building business plans, financial models, and pitch decks for early-stage companies across Nigeria and West Africa.
What we saw, repeatedly, was the same pattern: founders weren't failing because of bad strategy. They were failing because the work of operating a company — finding talent, getting legal right, raising capital, finding workspace — was scattered across a dozen vendors with no orchestration.
So we stopped being a consulting firm and started being infrastructure. Vestar Space is the operating layer we wished existed when we were the ones building.
/ 01
Founder-first, always
Every decision we make is filtered through one question: does this make a founder's day faster, cheaper, or clearer?
/ 02
Vetted, not aggregated
We don't list every law firm or HR vendor on the continent. We curate a tight network of partners we'd use ourselves.
/ 03
Built for emerging markets
The playbooks that work in Silicon Valley don't always work in Lagos or Nairobi. Our advisors know the difference.

Skin in the game
For high-potential founders, we take small equity instead of cash. We win when you win.
