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

Welcome back, friends! The most clicked link from last week was the NFX piece on fintech-enabled marketplaces. And in case you missed it, I published 'Three lessons to learn from the early days of Nigeria's IROKO' on Saturday. That said, let’s get into Week 6.

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.
