Oasis Investor Series: AMA with Yvonne Bajela, Local Globe

​Behind every bold founder story, there’s an investor who saw potential others didn’t.

​Join us for an intimate AMA with Yvonne Bajela, Partner at LocalGlobe and Latitude, and one of the UK’s most recognised venture investors championing diverse and underrepresented founders.

​In this session, Yvonne will unpack her journey from Goldman Sachs to leading investments in companies like Wise, Flutterwave, and Marshmallow, and share what she looks for when backing founders who are building across emerging markets and frontier tech.

​We’ll explore how investors assess global potential, what true impact investing looks like in 2025, and why diversity in venture isn’t just a moral imperative but a performance advantage.

​As always with our AMAs at Oasis — no question is too bold, too early, or too unconventional.

​This is for you if:

• ​You’re a founder raising for a mission-led or high-growth startup

• ​You’re an investor exploring cross-market or impact-driven strategies
