Vencapital is proud to host the Lagos Venture Finance Summit, a premier event connecting African emerging fund managers and capital allocators. The summit will take place in Lagos just after Gitex Nigeria and is set to be a pivotal gathering that will catalyze the next wave of venture growth in Africa.
The Summit sets the stage for GPs, LPs and CVCs in the continent to connect and discuss some of the key challenges they face as investors in Africa and how to build a more sustainable financial infrastructure that can fuel venture growth and bridge the funding gap that exists not early stage startups but also for funds managers.
Highlighting the sentiment of Ina Alogwu, Chief Digital & Innovation Officer at T2 Mobile, “African founders don’t lack innovation, they lack access. The real game changer is helping them bridge that funding gap and unlock resources they need to scale.”
This funding challenge is also eminent for emerging fund managers looking to raise their next fund as capital allocations so far this year have gone to more established fund managers in the continent, leaving little to no room for new managers to emerge.
This gathering will bring together leading fund managers, capital allocators, and industry stakeholders to address these concerns and foster collaboration, knowledge sharing, and deal-making that will drive growth in Africa’s innovation economy.
Join us on September 5th in Lagos for a day of insightful discussions, networking, and strategic partnerships. Come help us shape the future of venture financing in Africa.
