African VC is maturing, not shrinking. $3.2B raised since late 2024. Logistics, Transport, and Energy/Climate-tech now lead the continent. And SADC — with its massive infrastructure gaps and newly unlocked pension capital — is perfectly positioned to capture the next wave. You just need a trusted pipeline to get there.
Raised by African startups since late 2024 — equity funding up 38% YoY
Deployed across 58 deals in the first two months of 2026 alone
Zambian pension funds now permitted to allocate up to 15% into PE & VC
