Our Partner, @AMuforo joined the Innovation for Impact Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, hosted by our partners at British International Investment (BII).
The two-day summit brought together investors and ecosystem leaders from Africa, South Asia and beyond for conversations on AI, fintech and capital mobilisation, creating space to exchange perspectives and examine the opportunities and challenges shaping emerging markets.
Andreata joined fellow investors from Pakistan, India and Singapore for a panel discussion, The GP Balancing Act: Fund Size, Strategy and Reserves.
The discussion explored how fund managers align fund size with investment strategy and market opportunities, approach portfolio construction and reserves, and consider the implications of AI for sourcing, diligence and portfolio management.
Thank you to Abhinav Sinha, Chirantan Patnaik, Simone Baur and the BII team for bringing the ecosystem together.

- 83% of funding has gone to rounds of $10m or more, a record share.
- Bigger cheques to fewer start-ups, making early-stage funding increasingly competitive.
- The flow of capital varies significantly across markets and sectors.Drawing from public data sources, we mirror our observations on where investor appetite is shifting, what the numbers suggest, and what founders should consider as they build and raise capital. Swipe through to explore more.

Our Principal, Cyril Shonibare, joined a roundtable discussion at @moonshotbytc by 2026 to explore the intersection of policy, investment and the opportunities shaping Africa’s economic future.
The conversation highlighted the importance of policy frameworks matching the pace of progress in the markets. This will in return support effective capital allocation and stronger collaboration between policymakers, investors and businesses to create sustainable economic growth across the continent.
Thank you to @TechCabal for bringing these conversations to the forefront.

Our Director of Portfolio & Strategy, Daisy Liech, spoke at the Boost Africa session hosted by the @officialNESG and the @EIB during the 32nd Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja.
At TLCOM, we find & fund founders to build enduring, venture-scale businesses. That means staying involved after the capital is committed, helping founders strengthen governance, prepare for exits and make the strategic connections that can improve their odds of success and deliver stronger venture returns.
Daisy shared this perspective while joining the wider conversation on what more is needed to close Africa’s financing gap and get capital to high-potential businesses.
Thank you to the @EIB and the @AfDB_Group for their continued commitment to strengthening Africa’s venture ecosystem through Boost Africa Technical Assistance, and congratulations to the European Investment Bank on the launch of the $129 million Boost Africa Venture Fund.
