Head of Legal and Compliance - Africa | Tax and Corporate Commercial Lawyer | Venture Capital | CatalyzU Fellow
Africa's numerous challenges are opportunities in disguise. We need courageous entrepreneurs to tackle these problems and capital allocators who can deploy funds effectively and efficiently. In this regard, I am delighted to share that I have recently completed the CatalyzU Venture Capital Advanced Fellowship! This program provided a front-row seat to learning from some of the best VC capital allocators on the continent. CatalyzU is undoubtedly shaping the next generation of non-technical industry leaders in Africa. A big thank you to Karl Nchite, Luke Mostert, Anthea Hartzenberg, Anne Gichuki and Bertran Strydom for their incredible work! The fellowship was intense but rewarding. It covered a comprehensive range of topics, including VC fundamentals, investment strategies, due diligence, impact, ESG, valuations, legal documentation, cap tables, portfolio management and exits. I had the pleasure of collaborating with Eliud Irungu and Aatish J P., where we created and pitched a hypothetical fund on demo day. Our fund’s thesis and mandate revolved around job creation for young people. Job creation and empowering youth with skills and opportunities to showcase their talent are causes close to my heart. Addressing this existential problem is crucial for Africa's future. A highlight was the impeccable quality of our lecturers: Philani Mzila CDFA (Founders Factory Africa), Jade Buckton (27four Investment Managers), Kamohelo M. and Vuyo Thulani Angoma-Mzini (Launch Africa Ventures), Thaheer M. (Savant), Brian Masondo (E Squared Investments), Mathew Saunders and Ifeoluwa (Awodein) Adepoju (Future Africa), and Nivesh Pather (Norrsken22). If you aspire to join the Young African Catalyst community stay tuned for the next round of fellowships open, including the How to Startup Series where you get to learn from some of Africa’s most seasoned entrepreneurs including Iyinoluwa Aboyeji.

Africa Equity Group’s Founding Managing Partner and COO, Osa Aihie presented his vision of the African investment landscape at Singapore’s 2023 Business and Philanthropy Forum, organized by the ALLIANCE FOR GOOD in a workshop curated by the Pan-African Council with the theme “Investing in Africa”. On a shared panel with Dianne Dusaidi - Lead, Entrepreneurship & Innovation, Transitions of the Mastercard Foundation Africa and Fayçal Aliou - President of Rizq Ventures, Osa highlighted the tremendous opportunity for impact investment in Africa as it relates to providing affordable growth capital and technical assistance to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). SMEs currently account for more than 80% of jobs and 90% of the private sector on a continent with the youngest population and fastest urbanization rate. Osa also emphasized that investment flows into African SMEs help attain the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other continental impact frameworks such as the Africa Union’s 2063 Agenda both through direct and indirect channels. These include the employment opportunities they generate, the ideas, innovation and dynamism that come from entrepreneurship, the responsible business practices they choose to adopt, the sectors in which they operate and the impact they have on the broader economy. He also noted that in order to be successful in the African context, SMEs need a model that supports them as engines of change. Osa further showcased how Africa Equity Group’s sustainable investment strategies can be a pathway for deeper cooperation with Asia’s business and philanthropic community, underscoring the pivotal roles of environmental and social considerations. #investinafrica #africanbusiness
