Africa has come a long way when it comes to startup financing. Since 2015 at least, thousands of investors — angels, venture capital and private equity firms, credit institutions, high net worth individuals, family offices, accelerators, incubators, development finance institutions, non-profit entities, etc. — have passed through the continent’s startup ecosystem, dropping some funds. However, while different classes of investors have populated this ecosystem, venture capital firms (aka VCs) have shown persistence as well as resourcefulness with funding.
In the course of plotting this investment landscape, what was most striking was the intensity of the rise of new funds meant for the ecosystem in the past three years alone; that is, between 2017 and 2020. It is expected that many more funds of this nature will crop up even, especially as more parts of Africa continue to migrate to the internet, partly forced by the coronavirus pandemic.
That said, it must be pointed out that the long list below is not exhaustive of all the investors that have ever invested in the ecosystem. In deciding who made the list, all the investors that invested between 2019 and January 31, 2021 were, substantially, listed. For 2018 and backwards, a majority of one-time investors were excluded. They are called one-time because there was no evidence to support any subsequent investments by them. It became necessary to do so so as to assist founders in knowing who is probably still in business, and who to immediately reach out for investments. The door is still very much open, however, for any investor who was not captured in the list but who wishes to be added onto it.
It must also be pointed out that venture capital firms have mostly been preferred over other types of investors because of the very nature of startups themselves.
Finally, if the list becomes so long, tiring to use, or simply boring and you would wish to have a hold of the first-hand document pasted here, kindly feel free and reach across to the writer through any medium, to have the document or more sent to you, although it must be noted here, also, that the document is not free.
Afrikan Heroes continues to wish you the best in your fundraising journey this year and beyond.
