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

Welcome back, friends! The most clicked link last week was Stephen Muriithi’s 'Africa’s hidden growth opportunity: venture debt.' And in case you missed it, yesterday’s Fintech Review was rather well received.

⭐ If you’re interested in investing in Africa Tech or reached out to me in the past about this, please share your contact info with me here.

And if you have any inside info on the Capiter situation, I’m all ears.

If you’re new, welcome 🙌🏽 — assuming no delays, you’ll receive an Africa Tech digest like this one every Monday, the Afridigest Fintech Review on Sundays, generally (but not always), an original essay/article on Saturdays, and, if you’ve opted in, the French-language Revue de la Semaine on Wednesdays. For past essays and digests, visit the archive.
