Q2 2026 Private Capital Activity Review Webinar

​Africa recorded 221 private capital transactions in Q2 2026, up 19% on Q1. It also recorded seven exits, the lowest quarterly count since Q4 2022.

Join the Stears research team and a panel of practitioners for a working read of the quarter, built on the Stears Private Transactions Database and the Q2 2026 Private Capital in Africa Activity Report.

​What we'll cover

​Why disclosed value fell to $10.8B from $16.7B, and why that number needs context before it means anything.

​The mid-market squeeze. Micro deals rose from 29% to 48% of disclosed transactions while the $2.5M to $75M band fell from 54% to 37%.

​Debt financing accounted for 62% of disclosed value against 28% of transaction volume. Who is actually funding this market, and what that means for GPs raising against it.

​The exit picture. Seven transactions, an SVL Index at 82.46, and what a market that deploys faster than it realises looks like from the inside.

​Where capital concentrated. West Africa led on both volume and value, with Nigeria carrying $8.0B of the region's $8.9B.

​Who this is for

​GPs, LPs, DFIs, and investment banks active across African private markets. If you are sizing a raise, writing a quarterly update, or building a coverage view on the continent, the data in this session is the data you are working against.
