“The month in VC” is a regular deep-dive into the Africa’s investment space. Produced in partnership with Atlantica Ventures, each episode wraps up the latest news in African VC, profiles a leading investor, and digs into a key theme or trend in conversation with partner VCs. The latest episode sees us speak to Mareme Dieng, Africa lead at 500 Global, and we’ll also be looking at the positives - and indeed negatives - of Africa-focused investors having previously been entrepreneurs or operators themselves.
