Although the African continent’s venture capital market is expanding, there are still many obstacles preventing the sector’s expansion. Regulatory obstacles, transaction flow restrictions, infrastructure problems, a lack of knowledge, and insufficient cash are a few of the major roadblocks to this expansion. Proximity Ventures, an Australian-based company, is tackling this issue head-on. In addition to backing the best startups on the continent, Tech Safari, their African-focused publication, is helping to highlight and create a strong network for African startups. Join us in this episode of iAfrikan BYTES as we speak with Caleb Maru, partner at Proximity Ventures and editor at Tech Safari, about the inspiration behind this engine.
