Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently said that the future will be built in Africa, but if current trends persist, it will be built by foreign nationals with foreign investments; Africa’s budding venture capital (VC) scene is mostly made up of foreign men. This includes both the investors and the entrepreneurs, although local VCs might have more of a feel for the local economy. The challenge is how to convince Africa’s wealthy to invest and get funding into the right hands. getAbstract recommends Esha Chhabra’s article to readers with an interest in impact investing in Africa.
