Africa Foresight: Ghanaian Startup’s Funding Driven Expansion Gains Traction

Inspired by the positive vibes it got during its seed funding project,  Ghanaian based Africa Foresight Group (AFG), which has developed a platform offering access to the largest network of freelance management consultants on the continent is launching out to three other markets within the continent after raising US$700,000 in seed funding. Founded in 2016, AFG allows leading companies, investment funds and development partners to hire teams to make the right strategic decisions and achieve sustainable success, utilising an online platform and machine learning to build an entirely new model for consulting in Africa which informs ongoing plans to launch in South Africa, Kenya and Ethiopia simultaneously.

The startup’s proprietary technology platform matches teams with open project opportunities, manages performance data, and supports the invoicing and payments process. It could be recalled that the startup raised a US$700,000 seed round led by Consonance Investment Managers and GFH Holdings, which it will use to expand further across the continent. Already operating in Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Tanzania and Rwanda, as well as the United States (US) and United Kingdom (UK), AFG will focus on expanding operations in South Africa, Kenya and Ethiopia.
