The Afridigest Week in Review is a must-read weekly recap for Africa-focused founders, executives, and investors, as well as interested observers. Glad to have you here. 😊
Welcome back, friends! The most clicked link from last week was the a16z article on raising debt for startups. This week we bring the startup of the week back from a long hiatus with a look at the grocery delivery sector in Egypt.
With that said, let’s get into Week 16’s newsletter — it’s a long, comprehensive one, so thanks in advance for sharing with your colleagues and across your social platforms. 🙏🏽
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.
