@VusiThembekwayo Most of the funding in 2021 went to Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa and Kenya. Their combined GDP is around $1.2 trillion. USA GDP is more than $20 trillion (20x), and proven exit landscape. A better comp would be Latam - $14B raised in 2021 across 772 deals. We are catching up!

[Johan Bosini @JohanBosini]

@Sandymadan I will be in NBO in late Feb. Would be great to catch up!

Lab-grown meatballs, anyone? @brettvthompson of @MzansiMeatCo says South Africans could have the option to eat cruelty-free meat as early as 2022! "We hope to have Africa's first cultivated meatball this year... for consumers to try next year." Read more > https://t.co/j5PdxQy9ri

Great to see the progress of @MzansiMeatCo, driving innovation in food for Africa from Cape Town.

Your knife and fork is poised over a hot juicy steak - but this one wasn’t running around a field. This one was born in the jelly of a petri dish in a laboratory in Africa.
