Background
Conrad Walker is listed as a General Partner of Mappiah Venture Holdings, an Oslo-based alternative investment adviser and manager founded in 2016. Preqin's fund-manager profile names him among the firm's decision-makers and places him in Accra, Ghana, while his contact details carry a Norwegian (+47) phone number and a mappiahventure.com email, reflecting the firm's Scandinavian base.
Mappiah Venture describes itself as an international alternative investment advisor specializing in renewable-energy investments through a green fund-of-funds instrument and in early-growth-stage technology startups through its venture capital fund. The firm is headquartered in Oslo with additional Nordic offices in Copenhagen and Stockholm (Kista), and is presented as part of the Zinqular Group. Its stated specialties span venture capital, renewable-energy investment, infrastructure financing, private equity, fund-of-funds and advisory services, serving institutional investors, pension plans, banks, wealth managers and retail investors across Northern Europe.
The firm's flagship venture vehicle was the Zyzey Venture Capital fund — an early-stage fund that invested across Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Sweden with a preference for information-technology and ESG/impact deals. According to PitchBook, the Zyzey Fund has since been liquidated. Mappiah is also associated with an Infrastructure Fund-of-Funds (reported as in raising, Asia-focused) and an early-stage start-up fund (Europe-focused, closed).
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Stage: Seed and early growth-stage venture, consistent with an angel/GP profile.
- Sectors: Early-stage information technology, plus ESG, impact and renewable-energy themes; the parent firm extends into infrastructure and real estate.
- Geography: Primarily the Nordic markets (Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden), the explicit mandate of the Zyzey fund.
- Structure: Invests both directly into startups (via the venture fund) and indirectly into renewable-energy/infrastructure through a green fund-of-funds — so the firm thinks in terms of both single-company bets and diversified fund exposure.
