Grateful to Nayantara Jha at @weetracker for highlighting my journey. Powering Africa’s Future: Inside Eunice Ajim’s Early-Stage Investment Vision https://t.co/Ip1GkpE4Wm

We don’t need handouts. We need bold capital, patient investors, and a belief in what Africa can become. If you’re curious about the future of African tech, let’s talk. #VentureCapital #InvestingInAfrica #AfricanTech

Despite this, I remain convinced: Africa is on the brink of a unicorn wave. By 2030, I believe at least 30 African startups will surpass $1B valuations. The pieces are falling into place—talent, technology, and demand are growing. What’s missing? More investors willing to take

The reality is: ✔ African VCs aren’t just raising funds - we’re selling an entire continent’s future. ✔ We’re proving that Africa is not too risky - it’s too overlooked. ✔ And we’re navigating a market where valuations, investor sentiment, and capital availability can shift

For two years, I had conversation after conversation with investors who didn’t understand Africa’s potential. Many said no. Some said, “Come back when you have more traction.” Sound familiar, founders?

Raising a venture fund is hard anywhere - but in Africa, it’s a different kind of challenge. Unlike in the U.S., where LPs actively seek out emerging managers, African VCs have to convince investors that the continent is worth betting on.

“Every single African VC is doing their best.” 🧵

Saw the news about Mastercard Foundation pulling out of Africa, and honestly, I'm a bit tired of the same old "Africa funding crisis" narrative that's making the rounds. 🧵 https://t.co/xRHgGPQGCl

100M in funding, pulled, just like that. I’m convinced there are 10,000 Africans who would pledge to invest $10,000 in Africa over the next 5 years. That’s $2,000 per year. And that funding will never get pulled. RT if you agree.

I've been in enough meetings lately to know there's still plenty of smart money looking at Africa – they're just being more selective. And that's probably healthy. What do you think? Is everyone overreacting to what's really just a normal market cycle? Or am I being too

Maybe, just maybe, this reset is exactly what the ecosystem needed. When funding eventually picks back up (and it will), we'll have more sustainable businesses with actual business models. Imagine that!

• Many are focusing on revenue instead of vanity metrics • Africa-focused investors are stepping up (finally!) • Founders are solving real problems instead of chasing the next shiny thing

So why do we act shocked when Africa experiences the same market cycles as everywhere else? What I find interesting (and nobody seems to be talking about) is how African founders are adapting:

Silicon Valley VCs have been sitting on their hands. European funding rounds are smaller. Asian markets are feeling the squeeze. It's not just an "Africa problem" – it's a global reality check after years of easy money.

Look, I get it. It's not great news. But can we talk about the elephant in the room? VC funding has been down EVERYWHERE for the past couple of years.

VCs don't sign NDAs. If you're worried about your idea being stolen, you're worried about the wrong thing. Execution is everything. #thoughtoftheday
