Masterful keynote on multiplying impact in Africa by @asemota at #BigAngelsDayAfrica 2025 in Dakar yesterday
“It’s all about abundance… You can take risk when you have money. If you don’t have money, you can’t take risks.”
Introducing the #AfricaPrize judges! We have some familiar faces and new faces this year. Welcome Steve Tawia @stevetawia, who has worked as a guest judge since 2023, and has now been promoted as an official judge for future events. Joining him is Ian Shott CBE FREng (who will be judging virtually), Richard Wylde FREng and @yewiedewie. Our guest judge for 2025 is Marieme Diop @MuxMi.
They all volunteered their time to review applications and select the finalists. Now they will be judging live, who wins the 2025 Africa Prize. We are very grateful for their dedication and time.
Looking forward to this conversation with one of your favorite Africa Tech investors & mine @idrisayobello at Big Angels Day Africa 2023 tomorrow

Doubling Down on Africa a thread...
We've raised our second Africa fund @PartechPartners putting another $270M at work to support African entrepreneurs challenging the status quo.
Why are we bullish? (1/8)
Partech Africa II, 1st closing at €245m, above fund target size. We are excited, proud and thankful.
Let's double down on African tech founders.

Grateful to @TechCabal for honoring @NnenaP.
It's a tiny reflection of the human she was & the value she brought to every relationship.
We had spent many hours discussing the future Africa.
It will still happen, but w/ her spirit looking over us.
