What Renaissance Capital is saying

  • While noting that global venture funding is slowing, Renaissance Capital observed that the African tech scene has had a busy first quarter, but was beginning to witness a slowdown in April.
  • The company said: “For the first time since December 2021, fundraising in the African tech scene slumped, as startups during April raised about $437 million (down 39% MoM, though still up 139% YoY) across 57 deals (down 44% MoM and 17% YoY).”
  • “Year to date about $2.2bn has been raised across 300 plus deals. Fintech continued to hold sway, accounting for around 35% of the YtD raise. On a MoM basis, Nigeria and South Africa each saw their share of YtD funds raised decline by 3 ppts each, while Egypt was unchanged. However, Kenya gained 6 ppts on a MoM basis, buoyed by Sun King’s $260mn series D raise,” it added.
