The thread below 🧵👇🏽 by @Hope_N_D about the value of connections resonates, especially as I flesh out my Connectivity Framework. If you're curious about how connectivity can drive innovation, definitely check this out: ✅ africantechroundup.com/unlocking-inno… 👋🏾 @LizWilsonUK @Tayo_Akinyemi

✨What I learnt at Stanford this week: A lot of wealthy folks focus on social connections to get ahead, versus others focus on “the work speaking for itself”. I grew up in a low-income household where “hard-work” > “connections” -> and this is career limiting behaviour



#AVCASummit2024 For those looking for more GP learning opps around early stage capital provision, I can recommend the ESCP Network: frontierfinance.org/network cc @CollabFFinance


Great to be in the room at the #AVCASummit2024 today in London. Thanks to @AVCA_Africa for pulling together a great agenda.

"One of the challenges we see is making sure there is an appropriate amount of financing for ventures at each stage of their lifecycle - whether that's seed capital at the start, debt as they grow, or growth capital later on." youtube.com/watch?v=3bZ8bn… #SMEs #rural #impact #Africa


"More & more investors are looking at the African market." @ietp_ Director Raphael Dumont discusses how I&P is building a community of fund managers across Africa focused on early-stage businesses & #SMEs. youtube.com/watch?v=XqkJXk…

More than 1,700 prisoners are being released early to ease overcrowding. @JustinOnWeb asks Sian Williams from Switchback, which is a charity that helps rehabilitate young men that have been in prison, how much extra strain these measures will put on the justice system.


Great start to #figs2024 with a conversation about how frontier technology will change the course of embedded finance with @AccionVLab @MastercardFdn & @monzo #fintech #inclusion #globalimpact

Great to see this piece by @MasukuAndile: 'Connectivity is not merely a byproduct of business; it’s a deliberate, daily practice that fuels Africa’s innovation engine.' Amen to that. #bizecosystems #impactnetworks #systemschange

In other news... It's #TechTidesTuesday! 📰 I’ve been thinking a lot about connectivity lately—what it means not just in a technical sense but as a defining factor in how we lead. africantechroundup.com/unlocking-inno…
