This was really a fun excercise and a great way to share about our work at @TheCatalystFund to back and scale climate resilience startups across Africa!
This funding model is helping fight climate change 🌍 In today's episode of The Flip, we sat down for a roundtable conversation with @MaxBayen @lyndsayholley @James_I_Mwangi to explore the merits of the venture-building model in Africa. Their venture firms - @TheCatalystFund @Delta40_Studio & Africa Climate Ventures - each employ a hands-on venture-building model to support climate-focused founders across Africa. In this episode, we discuss: ➡️ why African ventures and climate startups, in particular, benefit from the venture-building model ➡️ the limitations of the traditional two and twenty fund model in the African tech ecosystem ➡️ the types of founders and opportunities these investors are looking for ➡️ the pitch these investors are making to global investors for why they should back climate action across Africa ➡️ and, is Africa the most important region for global climate goals?
