How can we back more ideas in Africa that aren't venture-scalable but can become sustainable?

People often pitch bold ideas to me for Africa's future.

Most won't be 100x success in 10 years to fit venture capital.

However, that doesn't mean these ideas don't deserve funding.

What makes @ZachLowe_NBA the best podcaster in the game is that he speaks with specificity about all 30 teams (stuff only fans who watch every night would pick up on) and does it in a way that’s digestible to all NBA fans. It was a privilege to produce his pod the past 5 years.

I'm excited to share that Pindo Voice AI is now in beta!

After sending 120M+ texts, we found that SMS & USSD are hard to access for many in Africa.

@pindoio helps African businesses engage customers in their native languages.

I understand when investors pass on companies with potential because they can't see a realistic pathway to making their money back, but it's tragic when investors pass on investable deals simply out of rigidity or lack of imagination. Innovation isn't just for entrepreneurs.

[Pacific @PacificRW]

The question is, how do we build good businesses that make for good investments, and... how do we design more inclusive investment strategies to cover a broader spectrum of "good businesses"

[Pacific @PacificRW]

Unfortunate but true; a good business is not necessarily a good investment. There's nuance to what investors require and expect. I've been surprised by how often this is overlooked.

[Pacific @PacificRW]

Amazing initiative 👏🏾👏🏾

If you want to understand better @CentralBankRw 's new banking law, I have updated the Rwanda Banking and Fintech GPT with the most recent laws. You can ask questions about the new law, other laws & regulations, ask it to compare the new vs old laws, or ask any questions. Check out some examples below. https://t.co/QQGkldMJXS

Figuring this out is how we'll unleash innovation in most African markets

How do we back more ideas that are not venture scalable to become sustainable in Africa?

Grants have struggled to scale many solutions till date.

[Norrsken East Africa @norrskenEA]

By 2033 the number of Africans living in cities will exceed the rural population, rising to 60% by 2050.

In this edition of #FoundersFriday, we're throwing the spotlight on startups using tech to improve how we live, work, move & play in cities.
