Meet the portfolio of the 2022 VC4A Venture Showcase Africa – Women founder edition

VC4A (VC4A.com) is pleased to put the spotlight on 14 amazing founders selected from our flagship Venture Showcase (https://bit.ly/3w9Pk7T) program dedicated to women-led businesses this year. Each founder is building innovative solutions, bringing disruptive business models that seek to change access to vital services across critical industries - from healthcare to education, from peer-to-peer marketplace to transportation and financial services, these companies are transforming our society.

Each startup from the portfolio is looking to raise their Pre-Seed, Seed and Series A rounds ranging from $250K to $10M. Learn more about the businesses they are building and the impact they can have for your country or region.

Of the $4B invested into startups across Africa in 2021, the Africa: The Big Deal (https://bit.ly/3KzG6b8) report reveals that “7% of the funding went to start-ups led by female CEOs.” That’s $1 in every $15 raised going to women-led businesses.

This is exactly why “beyond understanding the problem and creating awareness, VC4A decided to take action or the problems will never be addressed. The Venture Showcase Africa a Women founder edition (https://bit.ly/3w9Pk7T) was launched in April as a concrete way to engage investors and drive capital support to outstanding women led companies.”
