Did a podcast with the gifted @Tayo_Akinyemi 🙌🏾 She brought out my clearest thinking on alternative payment infrastructure in emerging markets 🙏🏾 share.transistor.fm/s/25cbc458 This was recorded just before thanksgiving 2023, and my knowledge on cards has evolved. Need to follow up.
Wake up! @Tayo_Akinyemi just dropped a new podcast. @wizaj is in it

Believe it or not, more money has been invested as "climate financing" in Africa than has been invested in African startups. But climatetech only started finding centrestage in African VC recently. So, I wrote a short essay about it for @busrep SA's largest financial paper.

While overall funding levels remain low compared to previous periods, the number of ventures raising $1m+ is starting to pick up. Early signal of a recovery in motion? Insight 👉 thebigdeal.substack.com/p/q12024contd Data👉 thebigdeal.gumroad.com
Is “digitizing everything” the key to creating African VC-backable opportunities? Dig into how VC should balance bytes & atoms with @signorabraham on Ep1 of The Trajectory Africa's new series: The Engine of African VC: A Return to First Principles. tinyurl.com/vvj9ujth
Our friends at @AAA_AngelInvest are dedicating their 10th cohort programme to aspiring or active women angels from Africa & the diaspora📷 Check out this 13-week experience to learn from investors, meet startups & join a 600+ alumni angel network: africanangelacademy.com/cohort10/
An investor was astonished when I explained that we can build 10 more companies like Flutterwave, and we still won’t have enough financial services infrastructure in Africa.
Hopefully back on the writing saddle with some more recent #Reflections on #AfricaTech... Last few months were mad (in a good way) @TLcomCapital - so trying to make sense of some recent learnings and questions. But first, some thoughts for 2024...🧵>>
Our 10th cohort programme applications are open! 🚀 Introducing our first women-only cohort, sponsored by the @UKSATechHub and @TheDGGF.👩🏿💻 This programme will empower you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence required to start angel investing in Africa.🌍
Two amazing founders @ngozidozie of @get_carbon and @Mark_Folabi of @VellaFinance that I am honored to be connected to as an investor and an LP. As a participant in this acquisition, the biggest takeaway for me was the lack of ego and the transparency of both CEOs.

African ventures should have generated $20.5b in exits, but haven’t. Now what? Provocative article highlighting what a few veterans have been saying for yrs. Too few funds/investors; risk-adj terms MIA. With more US funds moving to 12-15 yr terms, should Africa funds settle @ 20?
Great report and happy to see more leaning into digital commerce. Disagree with the order of payments fundamentally driving commerce, but the context is well laid out. On the high end of optimism for some of the trends, but refreshing. h/t @j0sephbens0n ebanx.com/en/beyond-bord…
50 companies active in #Africa capture 60%+ of all known $$ raised over the past decade, x data by Briter Intelligence. Building on @briterbridges' #AfricaInvestmentReport 2023, our #CEOsBillboard looks at current CEOs and MDs and breaks down the figures by gender and ethnicity.
[1/9] Financial services in Morocco are a bit unique On the one hand, the country is one of Africa's banking power centers Attijariwafa Bank, Banque Populaire du Maroc, and Bank of Africa each generate ~$1 billion or more in annual revenues, for example
I asked @anovitske [managing a $205m African VC fund] whether growth-stage valuations have reached a bottom across the continent. Her answer:
There are two important @TechCabal stories I want you to read today. The first is that Moniepoint processed 5 billion transactions in 2023. NIBSS processed 9.6 billion So Moniepoint did 52% of what everyone else on NIBBS did. That's🤯 techcabal.com/2024/01/26/mon…
Another day another African startup trying to succeed in spite of their local accelerator program rather than because of it.
Last year, @Norrsken22 closed one of the biggest funds in the African tech ecosystem. A $205 million fund run, by local partners on the ground in Nigeria, Kenya & South Africa, to close the gap at the growth stage. In this episode of The Flip, we're joined by Norrsken22's…
And while the growth and late stage ($1m-$100m) is getting squeezed early stage deal flow is up and mega-deals (those >$100m) have remained resilient (driven by new funders from the Middle East, new debt providers and supported by DFIs).

I don’t know if this was intentional or lucky, but Wave, perhaps Africa’s biggest growth stage company, which took a divergent path building their biz in Senegal & Côte d’Ivoire, isn’t experiencing devaluation like their contemporaries in Nigeria or Egypt.
Interswitch revenue in dollar terms is a victim of Nigeria's dramatic exchange rate collapse since last year. At the March 2023 exchange rate (₦459 = $1) when this annual report ended, Interswitch's ₦66.6B revenue was equal to $145M. At today's rate, it's just $42M. 😕😕
