The FSD Africa Early-Stage Finance Conference is the premier convening for those actively charting the future of finance in Africa. We are bringing together our pioneering Venture Finance Platform portfolio managers, strategic partners, and the wider investment ecosystem for two days of targeted engagement.
Building on the momentum of last year, this year’s conference moves beyond dialogue. Our focus is on deepening relationships, unlocking vital capital pathways, and sparking the enduring collaborations required to scale the early-stage asset class.
Our core objective is clear and ambitious: to definitively position early-stage finance as a credible, investable asset class across Africa. We aim to create the partnerships, strategies, and commitments necessary to accelerate the growth of this vital asset class.
Portfolio in focus:
Meet and hear directly from the pioneering fund managers and innovators in our ecosystem, learning from their journeys and the market-defining impact they are achieving.
Catalytic collaboration:
Engage directly with investors, Limited Partners (LPs), and partners in structured sessions designed to co-create and commit to clear pathways for mobilising both local and international capital.
Actionable outcomes:
Leave the conference with practical market insights, new strategic partnerships, and a clear sense of “what’s next” to collaboratively accelerate the growth of this vital asset class.
