Managed by our studio, this dedicated fund raises capital from non-US citizens and US accredited investors to invest directly in our target ventures, driving value across all three arms.

Rodgers Nyanzi

General Partner

Rodgers Nyanzi is the Founder and General Partner of TrailblzrGO, an integrated venture platform designed to source, scale, and support the next generation of globally disruptive companies. His career is uniquely defined by his role as a central ecosystem architect in the African tech scene, combined with deep operational experience as a founder and a direct bridge to the global venture capital landscape.

 

As the Director of Startup Grind Kampala, part of Google for Startups' global network, and a Curator for Techstars Startup Digest, Rodgers sits at the epicenter of one of Africa's most vibrant tech hubs, giving him unparalleled access to proprietary deal flow and market intelligence. He complements this ecosystem leadership with hands-on experience as the founder of multiple ventures in sectors like food-tech (Supeedi Brands) and esports (Gogolo eSports), providing him with the operational empathy to guide the founders he backs.

 

Rodgers connects this on-the-ground expertise to the world stage through active mentorship at elite global programs like Alchemist Accelerator and VC4A. He has formalized his practical experience with focused education in finance and venture capital from world-class institutions including Yale University, Università Bocconi, and the University of Glasgow Adam Smith Business School. This rare combination of skills was further honed by his experience managing the complex operations of a large-scale non-profit with a network of schools serving over 2000 children and associated healthcare facilities, proving his ability to execute complex, mission-driven initiatives at scale.

 

TrailblzrGO is the synthesis of these experiences—a platform that leverages Rodgers' unique vantage point to generate exceptional returns by investing in the world's most underestimated founders.
