Why aren't young Africans landing the VC cash? πŸ€”πŸ’° Let's discuss! #AfricaRising #StartupTalk

timbuktoo CEO Natalie Jabangwe opens the first episode of Building Africa - our live show on the question the ecosystem has been asking since Swoop raised $7.3 million in Lagos. The market is undeniable. 1.4 billion people. The most dynamic consumer economy on the planet. The venture capitalists backing Swoop know that. The question is who builds it next - and what infrastructure needs to exist so that the next $7.3 million goes to a founder who grew up here. In this inaugural episode Natalie sits down with Dr. Funmi Adewara, founder of Mobihealth International, and Tonee Ndungu, co-founder of NAILAB, Kytabu, and advisor to the Africa AI Hub for international Development, to have the conversation the African innovation ecosystem actually needs.
