Happy midweek.

Yesterday, we published the latest edition of our newsletter, Francophone Weekly. If you’ve not had the chance to read it, go check it out. This week, we’ll be publishing our Predictions article, featuring insights from business leaders and operators across Africa’s tech ecosystem on what lies ahead.

But before looking forward, it is worth pausing on how active the market already is. In 2025, African tech startups raised $3.42 billion across the 502 deals we tracked. That works out to roughly 1.38 deals every single day of the year. The ecosystem was, quite literally, the busy bee always doing deals.

This pace tells a more nuanced story than funding totals alone. Even in a tighter capital environment, founders and investors kept negotiating, and the deals never stopped. This year has continued that same deal-making pace, and we’re here for it. But first, we want to help you make sense of last year’s momentum and why it matters; we’re launching our “State of Tech in Africa 2025: A Year in Review” report.
