In today’s episode, we talk about venture capital in Africa and how it differs from more established markets. We explore the need for a tailored approach to startup funding on the continent, the challenges of raising capital in Africa, the role of investors in supporting local entrepreneurs, and the potential for growth and innovation in African startups. Learn the impact of factors such as currency depreciation, regulatory uncertainty, and the cultural attitude toward equity compensation on the startup ecosystem.
