« Solutions must be holistic and take into account local realities to have impact ». Behind these words from Élisabeth Moreno, Chairwoman of Ring Capital's Board and Ring Africa, lies an observation shared by all of our ecosystem. With its dynamic economies and young, entrepreneurial population, French-speaking Africa is attracting more and more investors. This is why, following the launch of our new impact fund Ring Africa, we wanted to highlight Élisabeth Moreno and Cedric Mangaud's (Mstudio’s co-founder & CEO) thoughts on the investment opportunity in French-speaking Africa. From their personal experiences to the impact solutions that appear to be a priority in this region, Élisabeth Moreno and Cedric Mangaud provide an interesting overview of impact investment in French-speaking Africa in this month's interview for #BOTH, the newsletter about impact and growth by Ring Capital. 💌 Subscribe to our newsletter directly in the article → Link to the interview in the comments section #ImpactInvesting #impact #FrancophoneAfrica #RingAfrica

From the pressing issue of hunger ravaging communities to the need for wealth creation in Africa and particularly Nigeria, the time for action is now.   Hopefully, governments in Africa will take steps to embark on the journey of transformation as we recognise the inherent potentials within our societies.

Niteonhq (Seedstars W23) just got married to Collins Onuegbu 🤝🏾💙 . A few weeks back we stood Infront of the UBA Group House, Signal Alliance Technology Holding HQ and asked Collins Onuegbu to join the Niteon family as an esteemed advisory board member and shareholder, after a viral post that reached 10,000 people, he said 'I DO' which we sealed in his office with the post marriage image below😂. But the excitement doesn't stop there, because after the launch of our Beta Version a few weeks back and two years of supporting both local businesses and international organizations. We're announcing our pre-seed round of $600k to fuel the growth of the African Trade Center, Kunte(our Gen AI shopping assistance) and establish a Standard Quality, High Technology Driven and Credit Access Tradetech Software(Finance/Marketplace/Supply-chain). Committed Investors: 💼 Harry 'Tomi Davies 💼 Tobi Adeboyega 💼 Akinlolu Akinyele [Lead Investor] 💼 Collins Onuegbu 💼 Zenith Bank Plc 💼 TVC Labs With support from Seedstars and Emerging Africa Group as our deal/Financial broker, we've secured a growing commitment of $150k out of the $600k. 🤝 🌍 Why Niteon? We know this isn't how deals are done in Africa and over the last 4 years investment in Africa has been one-sided. We're choosing our own more transparent and selective approach by inviting only investors who are bullish about the Nigerian, African space and can contribute alot more than just financial resources because the truth is more money doesn't build sustainable and innovative startup in africa, relationship and who you know opens up more opportunities to longevity and massive growth.🌱 Join us in this transformative journey! 🚀 DM me for details on how you can be part of reshaping the future of African but firstly Nigerian Trade or repost if this resonates with you .

I’m honored that The Brookings Institution invited me to contribute to Foresight Africa 2024 with my viewpoint on “Getting the Value Out of Venture Capital”   In my nine years of building tech start-ups in Africa, I learned how to keep my businesses growing through economic cycles, periods of political uncertainty, and changing fundraising climates. Especially now, resilience is key to capturing return on investment. Yet venture capital is not typically structured around resilience. Read my comments (pp.80-83) on why the misalignment matters, and how some investors and founders on The Continent are capturing value long-term. https://lnkd.in/drvTkhRW
