The Afridigest Week in Review is a must-read weekly business & innovation recap for founders, operators, and investors in African markets, as well as interested observers.

Welcome back! Some quick news for you:

• Since Week 25’s digest, I published this article on the top venture rounds so far in 2020.

This is the last newsletter in the first half of the year. Given COVID-19’s personal and business impacts, let’s hope the odds are in our favor in Q3.

If you’re new, welcome 🙌 — you’ll receive 2 weekly Afridigest emails: this weekly digest (every Monday at 11:30ish Lagos time) and an original essay (every Saturday at 7pm Lagos time).

If you like this newsletter, do me a favor and share it with your networks. Thanks! 🏆
