Africa is home to the most genetically diverse human population in the world, representing an unparalleled scientific asset for drug discovery, precision medicine, and biomarker research.
BioVana Research is building the foundational data infrastructure layer for African health.
Getting the VC model right on the continent matters too much, so we cannot afford to be disingenuous about it.
Last week at the AfricArena Nairobi Summit, our Head of Portfolio Success, Akinyi Wavinya was on a panel to unpack where venture capital in Africa stands right now.
Eight days. Two cities. A community of founders who showed up ready to engage.
The Morocco Immersion Trip was everything we hoped it would be and then some. The conversations, the sessions, the connections, and the moments in between.

Roundtables on hiring, fundraising, and market entry.
Then Technopark Morocco, where our founders met investors, operators, and startups sharing real stories of building and expanding on the continent.
At the #MadicaImmersion, founders took the time to understand who #MadicaMentors are beyond their titles, and how they’ve navigated the realities of building.
We closed with a cultural dinner, breaking bread and taking in everything Morocco had to offer.
We’re excited to welcome Akinyi Wavinya, Head of Portfolio Success - @MadicaVC, to AfricArena Nairobi Summit🇰🇪🌍

At Madica, we back founders not just companies. And this is what our Immersion Trips represent.
78% of African founders report feeling lonely.
It is why the Madica Immersion Trip is not just workshops and investor meetings. We make time for founders to just be human together. Away from the decks, the pressure, and the noise.
This is what that looks like. 🇲🇦

The first chapter of the guidebook, "Zero to Funded: A Founder’s Guide to Pre-Seed Fundraising in Africa", has just been released by @MadicaVC.
It’s a 75-page, insight-led playbook designed for early-stage founders navigating their first raise.
The practical guide features perspectives from investors and ecosystem leaders across the continent and is designed to serve founders who are navigating their first raise, often without access to deep networks, accelerators, or prior fundraising experience.
It also includes practical toolkits, templates, and checklists that founders can use immediately.
