As Africa’s fintech ecosystem continues to evolve, discussions like these are critical in shaping how founders navigate capital, innovation, and scale across the continent.

Joining the conversation were Joan Mbesya, Munir Duri, and Zach Bijesse, with the session moderated by @MooketsiBTekere. The speakers explored the emerging “funding bifurcation” in venture capital and discussed practical ways founders can navigate the evolving fintech landscape.
