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 from last week was Equal Ventures' 'Companies build capabilities before they build moats.' And if you missed yesterday’s Fintech Review, it’s here.

📌 Happy Halloween 🎃 November is just around the corner & if you’ll be in Lagos for it, we’re planning another Afridigest reader meetup — kindly sign-up here. 🙏🏽

If you’re new, welcome 🙌🏽 — you're among thousands of readers who receive this Week in Review on Mondays, the Fintech Review on Sundays, and (for those who've opted in) the French-language Revue de la Semaine on Wednesdays. And from time to time, an original essay/article goes out on Saturdays. For past essays and digests, visit the archive.
