A data-backed reflection on capital flows into Africa’s innovation ecosystem — who is deploying, what LPs expect today, and how fund managers must adapt. Furthermore, rather than viewing Africa in isolation, this keynote will draw on comparative data from Latin America and India — highlighting trends in VC inflows, exits, fund sizes, and ecosystem maturity — to situate Africa’s trajectory within the broader evolution of emerging markets. By showing how peers navigated macro turbulence before scaling, the keynote frames Africa’s current challenges as part of a proven growth journey, setting the stage for deeper conversations on DPI, sustainability, and institutional readiness.
This intimate fireside chat will bring together the CEOs of Flutterwave and Moniepoint – two of Africa’s few unicorns – for a candid conversation about what it really takes to scale to a billion-dollar company.

This roundtable—organised into three breakout groups—brings together LPs, including DFIs, Family Offices, and Corporate LPs, and GPs for a candid, solutions-driven discussion on strengthening alignment in African venture capital. Through interactive breakout sessions, participants will explore the practical challenges and emerging opportunities shaping effective partnerships across the continent. The discussions will centre on three themes: what happens after the signed LPA and how to build trust for long-term partnerships; ESG approaches for funds and their portfolios; and what family offices are optimising for, along with how fund managers and DFIs can engage them more effectively.
