In 2004, DEAP CAPITAL secured a licence from Security & Exchange Commision (SEC) to render Venture Capital Services.

In order to tap into the enourmous opportunities available in the Oil & Gas, Telecommunications, ICT and Venture Business segments of the Nigeria economy, DEAP CAPITAL, in 2005, took a strategic decision to spin off its Oil & Gas Division to form a full-fledged subsidiary known as DEAP Venture capital Fund Ltd (DVCF).

DVCF has been positioned to render the following services in the most professional way.

In the Oil & Gas Sector where DEAP has perfected this service, success rate of above 97% has been achieved.
