What you'll get

A dense newsletter, never wordy.

Each edition is designed to be read in under 5 minutes and leave you with a new idea, a mental model, or a decision to make.

01

Two analyses a month

One in-depth topic per edition: African entrepreneurship, diaspora, EdTech, fundraising, Gov-Tech, pan-African scaling. The angle of an operator, not a consultant.

02

Behind the scenes of AwaBoost

Follow the AwaBoost build in real time. Decisions, doubts, lessons, metrics. Early access to the platform launch.

03

What I'm reading and watching

3–5 reading, podcast or video recommendations a month. Often French-speaking and African — sources you won't see elsewhere.

04

One question to discuss

Each edition ends with an open question. You reply by email, I pick the best answers for the next issue.

Investors

You're watching Africa

You want lucid analyses of the African entrepreneurial ecosystem — from the ground, by an operator who raises and deploys.
