Q1 Wrapped: Returns, Accelerated Action & Moving Forward
Noteworthy from Oui Capital
From Olu’s Desk ✍🏽
Hello investors, friends, and co-builders,
Two weeks ago, I received an email from Kyle Swinsky—one of the earliest founders we ever invested in at Oui Capital and CEO of AMOpportunities, a clinical training company helping student doctors around the world. He shared that the company had just been acquired. Even though this was a small check, the outcome is super exciting for us. This makes two exits in the space of the last six months.
Congratulations to our Team, Limited Partners and friends. Onwards and upwards! 🚀

Celebrating Women’s Month with Oui Capital
Last week in Lagos, we convened women across the venture ecosystem—founders, fund managers, operators, and investment professionals—for an evening of real conversations under the theme "Accelerating Action: Before & Beyond the Check." The event featured a panel session with Lexi Novitske, Ireayo Oladunjoye, and Yanmo Omorogbe, moderated by Oke Ekpagha, where they unpacked the dynamics of capital allocation, collaboration, and what it truly takes to support female-led startups. Through intimate breakout sessions, attendees also explored how each stakeholder—whether writing the check, building the product, or enabling growth—can better align to drive success for the continent.
