This November, the African Business Angel Network (ABAN), Lagos Angels Network (LAN) and VC4Africa are coming together once again to organise the annual African Angel Investor Summit. This is the 3rd edition of the summit and it’s happening on Thursday, November 17, 2016 in Lagos.
The theme for this year is, “Co-investing, making it work together” and all discussions, keynotes and workshops that will be featured at the summit will revolve around how stakeholders in the tech ecosystem can work together to help maximize Africa’s entrepreneurial potential. With Nigeria now officially in a recession and most African economies suffering from an ongoing slump in commodity prices, working together is the only way forward to unlock capital.
November looks like a pretty good month for early stage investors and startups in Lagos. Apart from this Summit, Ingressive is organizing an exclusive investor-only dinner on the 16th with special guest partner Monique Woodard of 500 Startups. There’ll also be a High Growth Africa Summit, a 2-day conference on how to build, scale and fund high growth businesses in Africa, from November 17 – 18. And on Sunday, November 20, She Leads Africa will host the DEMO Day of their Accelerator Program.
The African Angel Investor Summit is two months away and the organisers are looking for speakers, panel experts and moderators to help create tangible solutions for moving the ecosystem forward. Everyone’s invited, and if this seems like your thing, find out more here.
