i've said this before but i'll say it again.
my mission and mandate is to get as many African founders funded before the end of November 2026.
for the last two months, i've been working alongside Launch Africa Ventures x Botswana Tech Fund as a preferred ecosystem partner, connecting founders to real capital.
Now I can add two more:
๐ค Hytel partnered to support African female founders building in tech. each selected business receives $5K to $10K in funding plus 400 hours of developer time. 5 to 10 founders will be selected for this first cohort. applications close June 1st. female founders, move now.
๐ก Baobab Network in active conversations with Toby Hanington for pipeline and deal flow. more soon.
I am building the most intentional access infra on this continent and i need the right eyes on the right builders.
so,
if you're a founder or builder in tech, AI, or whatever you're creating and you're not in the African Founders Community yet... i genuinely don't know what you're waiting for.
if you're an investor whose interest is making a real difference in Africa by backing the next generation, DM me. we need to talk.

FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENT ๐จ๐๐พ
This one is for my girlies only ๐๐คธ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
(sorry guys ๐ญ)
If you didn't know already, I run the African Founders Community and we just locked in a partnership with Hytel! ๐ฅ
Shoutout to @greybtc for the introduction, genuinely appreciate you!!
Here's what's on the table:
$50,000 USD allocated for the first cohort. FEMALES ONLY. Building in tech, web3, AI, you name it.
Funding from $5k to $10k per business based on your traction and stage. PLUS their in-house developers are giving up to 400 hours of developer time to selected founders. Such a win. ๐ฉ๐ฝโ๐ป๐ฅ
Spots are limited๐ฅบ
If you are a female founder building in tech DROP a ๐ "That's me" below and I will send you everything you need to know.
Tag a girl who needs to see this. ๐
You know what our real problem is?
We're too afraid to show up for each other.
Hold on, hear me out... let me land this plane.
"What if they do better than me?" "What if they make more money?" "What if people like them more than they like me?"
"What if their brand gets more visibility than mine?" So we don't engage. We don't support. We don't show up.
And we've convinced ourselves that's just "focus" but let's be honest, a lot of it is insecurity and outright selfish.
And then we come on these timelines comparing African ecosystems to San Francisco. Talking about infrastructure gaps. Capital gaps. Ecosystem gaps. Like the only thing standing between Africa and it's moment is a VC fund in Menlo Park.
But who's asking the harder question?
What are African's doing to African's?
Because I've watched it up close. There are a very select few people on this continent with the genuine capacity to celebrate a fellow African without feeling threatened by their success. To share someone's post without calculating what it costs them. To make an intro without needing something back. To say "well done" and actually mean it.
And yet we turn around and expect the world to show up for us. We want foreign investors to believe in African founders. We want global platforms to amplify African voices. We want other ecosystems to take us seriously. Oh we contradict ourselves at every turn and then wonder why the rest of the world isn't paying attention.
How? How do we expect others to show up for us when we won't show up for each other?
How?!
There's a clear a mindset problem and it's one we rarely have the courage to name out loud.
The ecosystem we keep praying for won't be built by capital alone. It'll be built by people who decide to show up for each other before there's anything in it for them.
Be that person bruv.
Africa needs it.
