We also announce 6 new GenAI features in Photoroom. More importantly, these features are powered by Photoroom's foundation model, the best model for commerce photography.📸✨

Right to Dream have come a long way. From a single pitch in Ghana to an MLS club for half a billion.

Congratulations to all involved. An inspiration.

Youssouf Ndayishimiye and why data/video for African football matters.

The Burundian league had a full season of data on Wyscout. The standout player was a midfielder. He was signed by a Turkish club for $40k, a year later by another for $2m, and now $20m to Nice.

Dango Ouattara.

Majestic FC in Burkina Faso to Ligue 1 to the
Premier League (£20m) all within 2.5 years.

There is so much talent in African leagues.

Surprising, since Mercury is the go-to bank for the US entities of many African start-ups, for good reasons. But not surprising since African businesses are often flagged/blocked, for no good reason. Time for an African B2B digital bank?

The main African tech reports show funding has ~tripled between 2020 and 2021. Impressive, but more to come, esp. seeing the trend so far in 2022! 🚀

Great to see the @CBKKenya thinking forward and starting to think through a potential #digital #currency. A lot of questions to answer, but a trend which can't be just ignored or dismissed. Engaging with the various stakeholders will be key.

@Tommy_Lumeh @edarchimbaud @Kili_Technology @ddkang @Tommy_Lumeh I think @theCloudFactory is doing this in Kenya, not sure they do remote. @OGbadebo_Smith do you do this in Nigeria?

[Yoann Copreaux @YoannCopreaux]

@jodongo @jodongo there is probably also a question of time horizon since:
1. It can take longer to build start-ups on the continent (for now), so less start-ups will provide return within 5 years
2. It's early stage for the ecosystem, so the same graph may look very different in 5 years

There's never been a better time to be optimistic about Africa's tech #startups. We can't wait to see what #2022NewYear has to offer. #jumia https://t.co/IwIjHVTgwa
