1/ Three things in African tech this week that Gulf money should be watching 🧵

[Ali Nacnac @Alinacnac]

@NewsHawksLive This is the real story in African fintech. Remittances arrive digital and leave as cash because the spend side doesn't exist yet. Whoever closes that loop wins the corridor, and the Gulf to Africa corridor is a huge one.

[Ali Nacnac @Alinacnac]

Hot take: Africa's best fintechs aren't apps, they're cash-to-digital bridges. The winners solve the last 20 metres between receiving money and actually spending it.

Everyone talks about Gulf money "looking at Africa." Very little actually lands. The gap isn't appetite, it's plumbing: payments, FX, trust in local partners. Fix the plumbing and the capital follows.

4/ Fresh capital is flowing into African AI startups. Still small next to the Gulf's AI budgets, and that gap is the opportunity.
