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 PDF presentation on new stable points in venture capital by QED’s Frank Rotman. And this week, your trusted, most comprehensive #AfricaTech newsletter is jam-packed with a variety of great content — one quick ask though: take a second and share it with your networks? Thank you kindly 🙏🏽

With that said, let’s get into Week 21.

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.
