More details on www.africatechsummit.com The session highlights the shift in funding criteria, with higher expectations for company quality amidst the market’s volatility and macroeconomic shocks over the past 12 months. Despite this, there is pressure on VCs and growth equity funds to deploy capital, which is expected to lead to a reopening of capital flows over the next 12-18 months. Regulatory instability in major African markets, such as Nigeria and Egypt, and the challenges of currency conversion are significant hurdles. However, there is optimism that increased funding and strategic exits could rejuvenate interest and investment in African startups, particularly if positive stories and stability are promoted. Additionally, while traditional private equity and debt financing continue to play roles, innovative funding structures and thematic investments are emerging as critical tools for supporting growth in this complex environment.
