About
AfriFindInvest (AFI) is an advisory firm for African tech startups looking to raise capital.
Tech startups have the potential to create value that will scale rapidly across markets that are underserved. Tech in Africa is opening up access to essential goods and services for communities all over the continent. It’s also increasing visibility, access, and efficiency for African businesses.
Understanding the Landscape
Many companies aspire to be backed by venture capital, but only few meet the expectations of such investors.
New tech models are rapidly emerging, courtesy of AI and other transformational technologies. At the same time, new funding models, such as those driven by development finance institutions (DFIs), are redefining investment incentives in the African venture landscape.
We help tech founders to understand how to approach investors. We use our extensive experience of working with investors to help tech companies refine or reimagine their approach to the funding relationships that could make (or break) their business.
Who We Work With
Our collaborations include:
We collaborate with investors and ecosystem enablers with a view on technology’s application for expanding goods, services, and employment access through their portfolio companies.
Our clients include:
Our specialist services enable startups operating in these areas to go faster and further with their fundraising.
In a market that’s underserved with entrepreneurship support, we are committed to supporting tech startups:
- In any tech sector or vertical
- Based in or targeting Africa, while our specialist services are also available to startups outside of Africa
- With a validated idea or minimum viable product
- With a scalable businesses model and technology enabled high-growth potential
Building a company demands a different set of skills than raising capital. Tech startups are capital intensive businesses, however the bar remains high for those startups seeking capital. Limited startup investor readiness is only perpetuating a cycle of limited access to capital on the African continent. Even when your company has traction, it’s important to avoid investor outreach until you are fully prepared.
