The Afridigest Week in Review is a must-read weekly recap for Africa-focused founders, executives, and investors, as well as interested observers.

Welcome back, friends! The most clicked link from last week was this guide to structuring a fundraising pitch deck by thinking in acts, not slides. This week, a shedload of deals were announced & one gets the sense that there is/was some end of the year pressure before the holidays arrive 🎅

If you’re new, welcome 🙌 — you’ll receive a weekly digest like this one every Monday and, generally (but not always), an original essay/article on Saturdays. For past essays and digests, visit the archive.
