- A lot more Exit Opportunities

DeaLort is engineering these!

Mantra 🪧
By Dr. John Hunpatin

*** it’s for the exponential outcomes that early-stage startup investing is a winning strategy.

Use DeaLort: we show you real builders and their products | then provide data & systems for you to make smart 💰 decisions!

[DeaLort @deaLort0]

Strengths:

~ AfCFTA making efforts, but needs to be faster
~ GDP growth’s improvements expected (4.9% for 🇳🇬 in 2026)
~ Local investor activity on the rise

Needs:
~ more global investments to induce FDI
~ avenues to skill-up youth
~ government policy to encourage investments

[DeaLort @deaLort0]

���� great pointers from this

Africa this, Africa that.. the potential is clear, but we must make it meaningful

< 25% intra-African trade
< 3% global trade from Africa
87% poverty by 2030, if no economic progress
>5% GDP growth over many years to pull us up

So much to do!

Please find the link to a new paper I have authored, published by the @WorldBank Africa Growth and Opportunity Research in Action (AGORA) Series, entitled „African Trade and Investment for Global Resilience“. It is based on my 2025 Mattei Lecture in Italy and argues that Africa can anchor a new model of growth and simultaneously bolster global resilience by moving to more value added production and deeper integration into regional and global trade and investment networks. @IndermitGill

$1.9b sales
$11b AUM
All within a year
Full Software + most hardware built in-house… Resource, Africa-sourced.

$11.8m funding to scale, massive for Africa!

We love to see it

[Kalu Aja @FinPlanKaluAja1]

Very impressive $12m in contracts?

[DeaLort @deaLort0]

Funding takes time, trust, and building relationships that last until exit-do-us-apart & beyond. At @deaLort0 we emphasize transparency, frequent communication, & integrity.

Warren Buffett says “You can’t do a good business with a bad person”

We take this principle seriously💪🏽

[DeaLort @deaLort0]

Alignment & Trust breeds Confidence.
It doesn't happen via momentum sparks but built over time

Consistently delivering for both ends of the market is a journey... one we're eager to take!

Information is a key infrastructure for Africa✊🏼

Investor x Founder, mood with DeaLort:

[DeaLort @deaLort0]

Blacks avoid Angel Investing into African startups!
LinkedIn was rocked by this sentiment today.

Many offered their perspectives on the problem.

What do you think?

[DeaLort @deaLort0]

Most important info for You & I:

774 potential 🇳🇬goods at heavily reduced tariff costs is a big deal

Every Nigerian + Authorities should push for this relentlessly!

25% success here will introduce industries & investments = activating individual states and alleviating poverty

[Dr Jumoke Oduwole @joduwole]

Today, we celebrate the start of a new year – and the anniversary of Start of Trade under AfCFTA terms.

I am pleased to present Nigeria’s AfCFTA Achievements Report 2025. Over the last year, the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment reinvigorated AfCFTA implementation in Nigeria.

Nigerian businesses can now effectively access the African market on the preferential terms of the AfCFTA.

Read our report to learn more about Nigeria’s successes + lessons on intra-African trade, and our roadmap for 2026.

N1400/$1 looking likely for 2026 🌚

It’s advised to use CBN’s more conservative assumptions in making investment decisions in 2026.

Investments 📈 & stable FX were positives this year.

But rising debt, unclear CGT & political actions will influence 2026

Investors after comparing CBN to FGN forecasts:

[Nw@chukwu @zWeb3Warren]

After reading this report, it’s obvious the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Federal Government (FGN) are using different Excel assumptions.

When President Tinubu presented the ₦58 trillion ($39.7bn) 2026 bill, there was concern about… 👇🏽

[DeaLort @deaLort0]

Investments were up this year & is projected to continue in 2026.

However, risks remains!

Security | pre-election activities | Oil prices | supply chain issues

Will these challenges hamper the FX stability & inflation??
(CBN predicts ₦1400/ $1 and < 13% for both in 2026)

No one’s having it worse this holidays than Founders

[DeaLort @deaLort0]

Africa in 2025

Over $3b was raised across 614 Startups
Higher than in 2023 & 24.
2 IPOs in Africa (more than last 6 years)
50+ M&A deals.

The market is maturing
Let’s see what 2026 has for us

[DeaLort @deaLort0]

Catalytic capital for Startups will likely come from Angels (Harder to find), Grants (government needs to do more) or Development Funds.

Preferably, bootstrapping which remains the hardest but most rewarding!

How’s your fundraising going?

[DeaLort @deaLort0]

VC website: We’re a pre-seed/seed investor

VC in talks: We invest in startups with $25k MRR & 30% margins

The game is gone!!

Early-stage VCs investors in Africa are largely non-existent, they now require advanced metrics.
