| summary | This organization is dedicated to supporting tech entrepreneurs in Africa, aiming to bridge the gap between the continent's vast potential and its limited access to technology resources. They highlight a significant disparity: while 79% of tech funding in Africa goes to the "BIG 4" cities (Lagos, Nairobi, Cairo, Johannesburg), these regions only account for 40% of Africa's population and GDP.
To address this paradox, they've established a list of 18 priority countries and focus their efforts on two main areas: Investment and Talent Development. They invest up to $100,000 in a trio of startups across Africa each year, focusing on pre-seed stages. Their initiatives also encompass Talent 4 Startups and Africa Next programs, with an ongoing Nosactus portfolio.
In recent news, African tech startups have seen a funding boom in early 2025, raising $289 million in January alone at Gitex Africa – a testament to the burgeoning potential of African tech ecosystems despite existing disparities. |
