VC4Africa calls on investors to participate in 2016 Venture Finance in Africa Research

The research focuses on growth, job creation, capital investments, revenue/profit generation, economic, social and environmental impact over time, and the contributing factors.

The data will be compared across sectors, countries, stages of growth, among other categories.

VC4Africa’s aim is to empower you with the data and the tools you need to benchmark your performance to increase the activity of early stage investors in Africa and to influence the thinking and actions of policy makers.

On last year’s research, in the beginning of the year 2015 Venture Finance shed light on Africa’s startup funding scenes with over 70% of all ventures generating revenue. It is clear that the African market is full of opportunities. 49% of the ventures start generating revenue in their first year of operation. 19% start or expect to generate revenue in year two and 4% in year three.
