Welcoming investors to join the 8th edition of the African Early Stage Investor Summit #AESIS2021 online and offline on November 3-5 2021

VC4A and the African Business Angel Network (ABAN) are pleased to announce the 8th edition of the Africa Early Stage Investor Summit (#AESIS2021) which will take place online and offline from November 3 -5 2021.

The annual event ‘for investors, by investors’ this year will shed light on new insights and trends taking over Africa’s startup space, share best practices, open the floor for powerful new deal-flows, celebrate successes and promote a culture of early stage investing on the African continent.

Africa is moving onward and upwards as startups on the continent are breaking records astronomically this year. By mid-July, the ecosystem had already raised as much as it had in the whole of 2019 through $1M+ deals such that even before the big OPay raise of $400M, the total amount raised by startups in Africa so far this year had just surpassed the total amount raised in 2020 overall ($1.6B) reaching a new milestone of $2B in 2021. Early stage investing in Africa is more set than ever to take off in 2021!
