In 2017, while raising our @KnifeCap VC Fund II, a US investor told us that “Tech in Africa is an Oxymoron”… Knife already exited 3 African Tech business to Visa, GE & Garmin at that stage. The growth of Africa’s Tech Ecosystem since then has been an inspirational success story!

[Keet van Zyl @KeetvZ]

Always great to present our @GrindstoneXL #FindMakeGrowRealise Early Stage Investment Workshop to a new crop of #Startups! Hosting the shortlist of 45 co's today across CTN and Jozi to spend some time with inspiring entrepreneurs in selecting the final Cohorts 10 & 11. #FMGR

Found this gem from 2008 when @juliafourie, Eben & I developed “The Quick Guide to Venture Capital in South Africa” at HBD. Back then it was pretty much only us, @Invenfin, @4DiCapital starting & HP Ventures. Great that if we had to publish one today it would be ‘Not so Quick’…

[Knife Capital 🔪 @KnifeCap]
