Founders and Innovators Roundtable - LibertyCon Africa 2026
What does it take to build financial institutions in Africa that truly last?
The Founders & Innovators Breakfast Roundtable brings together a small group of founders, investors, and ecosystem builders for an intimate, conversation on the future of open financial infrastructure across the continent.
Headlined by Modibe Matsepane, Africa Master at Fedi, this gathering will explore the deeper questions behind Africa’s fintech boom —from regulatory realities and technical infrastructure to the cultural and institutional foundations required to build systems that endure.
This conversation will feature a curated room of builders exchanging insight, experience, and hard-earned lessons from the frontlines of innovation.
Together we will explore:
• Where the real infrastructure gaps in Africa’s financial systems still exist
• What separates startups that grow from those that become institutions
• What it means to build something that outlasts the founder
Attendance is limited to ensure an honest, high-trust conversation among peers shaping the future of financial infrastructure in Africa.
