In a market where every dollar counts, it’s more important than ever for #African founders to connect with investors who are not only active but also offer capital and relevant business support. Starting this week, we're launching our Investor Spotlight Series, a snapshot of active players fueling innovation across the continent. From the sectors they're betting on to the startups they've backed, we will share quick snapshots to help you identify the right partners to fuel your next phase, whether you're just getting started or gearing up to scale. Know a founder who needs this intel? Tag them. Have an investor who should be featured?  Our DMs are open.

🌍 Every year, Africa loses nearly $2 billion as doctors migrate to high-income countries like the US and the UK. This ongoing brain drain, coupled with underfunded public healthcare, continues to widen the gap in access to quality healthcare for millions across the continent. Yet, in the face of these challenges, innovators are developing home-grown solutions to close this gap; from telehealth to medical logistics and health financing, companies are leveraging digital technologies to reshape how healthcare is accessed and delivered. To celebrate #WorldHealthDay, we invite you to explore the “Improving Healthcare Service Provision in Africa"  Report, with contributions from Mike Mompi, Ola Brown, MFR, Alina Truhina, and Wilfred Njagi. In the report, we explored the funding activities of hundreds of health tech startups, trends in investor appetite and digital health innovation, and key market gaps. 👉 Sign up here to download the report for free: https://lnkd.in/dF_aKHqF
