In what has been a whirlwind of activity in recent weeks for the team at TLcom.

Our team gathered for our Fund I and Fund II LP Advisory Board meetings, where we were treated to an update on economic events by Dr Doyin Salami.

We also had fireside chats with @SimShagaya (Founder & CEO of @ulessonapp) and #MahmoudElZomor (Co-Founder & CEO of #ILLA, our first portfolio company in Egypt). It's been an honour to share in and showcase some of the work that our portfolio companies have been up to this year.

[TLCOM @TLCOMCapital]

We’re grateful for all the continued support we have received as we work towards revolutionising the continent’s tech sector through Africa’s investment and operating landscapes.

Today there was a raging fire in a plastics factory next to my brother in law's printing press. I want to commend the LASG fire service...they worked relentlessly to put the fire out....firemen were exhausted but kept on working....tax payers money at work @jidesanwoolu

As a complement to our core strategy of Seed and Series A investments in Africa, we invest selectively in pre-seed companies led by founders of the highest calibre, who combine deep market knowledge with proven operating track records.

Fantastic piece from our Partner @ElohoGM on why there's never been a better time to invest in Africa's female founders👇🏾

@S_Grabowski a colleague forwarded your post on an African tech whatsapp group to me. I might have an opportunity that would interest you. Please dm me back or email [email protected] and we can take it from there.

@DanielLutaaya Africans must stop this practice of having broke people as their representatives. Work for yourself first before working for the people. Come to work for us only if you already have your house car business and money
