It's been a busy start to 2024 for the entire Africa 🌍 Tech & Investment Ecosystem. As we continue to acknowledge & navigate some of its challenges, we also see & enable its communities and builders to foster its opportunities. A big 👏 to all these people on #AfricaDay2024

Love seeing reports like this. As usual, read this with data biases in mind (e.g. not nationally representative, MP clients) Key pieces for me: *80% at 250k naira/mo or below (~$160) *86% start the biz for a better job *70% of borrowing is friends/fam informalreport.moniepoint.com

Small retailers are the lifeblood of African economies. Not only do they sell 90%+ of all goods in a country like Nigeria, but they also create a significant amount of employment. But why do these retailers remain small? Why are African markets still so "informal"? Earlier

Only half a billion people in the entire world earn over $20k per year. The bourgeois. 2 billion people earn between $3k and $20k. But majority of the worlds population earn less than $3k.
