Did You Know? 

$3.2B was raised by African startups in 2023. But over 60% of funding rounds weren’t reported until days or weeks later.

That’s why Watchlists matter.

We surface the signals. You stay ahead.

Till next Friday, be a friend, and tell a friend something nice; it might change their life.
