In 2023, there was a decline in venture capital (VC) investments in African tech startups of up to 46%, according to Partech Partners, a leading VC firm which tracks startup investment on the continent. This decline is attributed to the global slowdown in venture capital activities due to a combination of reduced investor interest, inflationary pressures and geopolitical conflicts. Foreign VCs reduced their investments in African tech startups compared to 2022. Forecasts suggest that this trend may persist into 2024. In this edition of Insider Series, our speaker will talk about the funding crunch and share actionable tips for African startups that plan to fundraise during this tough time. The webinar is open to tech startups at all stages of development across Africa.
