Thanks, @mrstephendeng! Your insights on leveraging global research to de-risk emerging market tech were spot on. Incredible things happen through co-construction, and we're excited to keep pushing boundaries alongside visionary thinkers to build the next chapter of African tech

[Stephen Deng @mrstephendeng]

Had the privilege of attending @almadaventures summit this year in Marrakech and came away impressed with the firm and thesis they are building out of Morocco.

Incredibly sharp team led by @OLaalej and critically, they have a set of industrial capabilities and a deep (commercial) capital base that's tailor-fit for this next generation of African tech.

Really excited to see the impact they'll have as they continue to expand investments outside of their home region and add a much needed partner to the broader African tech ecosystem.

Innovation must come from all fronts. Alternatives to bank financing exist, creative structuring mechanisms must be embraced (& allowed) to strengthen our ecosystem. Thank you @EndeavorMorocco for the invite to the annual Iftar event and @aminesebti for moderating (off script 😉)
