Africa’s tech journey isn’t linear - it’s layered. We visualized it: 🔺 Tech Safari’s Pyramid of Tech From telco + payments at the base to AI + biotech at the top. We mapped real startups building at every level. 👇🏾 Here’s what the pyramid looks like: #PyramidOfTech

African tech’s greatest strength isn’t code. It’s community.   From Yaba to MEST, Forloop to iHub - builders helped each other, shared decks, contacts & jobs.   Unicorns came later. You can’t copy this magic. You have to build it. Together. 🤝🛠   techsafari.beehiiv.com/p/where-two-or…

At The Next Stage by Kitsilano Technologies , Billy Mwangi of E-Moti shared how a daily transport struggle became a growing startup.   Real problem. Real impact.   #TheNextStage #EMoti #TechSafari #StartupLife #UrbanMobility

Tech in Africa didn’t start with capital. It started with community. Here are 10 foundational spaces that gave rise to the continent’s early innovation networks 🧵👇

African Startups - Sink or Swim?   Hundreds of startups launch every year in Africa. Many raise millions. Most quietly die. Why?   We walked through Africa’s startup graveyard to find the biggest flops, hard truths, and quiet comebacks.   Let’s dive in: techsafari.beehiiv.com/p/sink-or-swim…

Africa is the youngest continent and the hungriest.   1 in 3 kids is malnourished, costing some countries up to 16% of GDP.   But in rural Tanzania, a pink box is quietly fixing that - 1B+ fortified meals, no added cost.   👉 techsafari.beehiiv.com/p/let-them-eat…   #AfricaRising #TechForGood

Africa has 2,000+ languages. But African tech mostly speaks English.   If your product needs email + English + literacy to work, it’s not for most people here.   This week on Tech Safari: → Vernacular is viral → Voice beats text → Low-tech still wins   techsafari.beehiiv.com/p/lost-in-tran…
