Queen Chinyere Quinn

Founding Partner, Kupanda Capital

About

Queen Chinyere Quinn is a venture capital investor at Kupanda Capital who uniquely combines company building with investing, having co-founded multiple pan-African companies including Nithio (AI-powered energy and climate finance) and Fraym (data/analytics for Africa) rather than just providing capital. She brings an unusual academic depth to venture investing with a PhD in Innovation, Strategy & Organisation from Cambridge, an MPP in International Trade & Finance from Harvard Kennedy School, and experience at both Citigroup and the African Development Bank, positioning her work explicitly around redressing structural inequality in finance and capital flows.
