Panel session: The state of startup funding in Africa II

​Early-stage African rounds are down 60%, median time to convert to Series A is longer by 61%. Yet, the average ticket size for a Series A startup has gone up by 80%.

​What does this all mean and why is this the case?

​Join a diverse panel:

• ​An early-stage GP/investor that's invested in Terra Industries ($22M seed ext), and Chowdeck (Series A), and Timon

• ​A YC-backed founder that raised $2M seed in 2023

• ​A Series A-level fintech founder with a sprinkle of VC funding

​as we discuss the state of startup funding in Africa, drawing from Condia's recent report, in partnership with FCMB's HubOne.

​The report is a mandatory pre-read to maximise the conversation on Tuesday.
