2025 was an amazing year at the A&A Collective! 🌟 Here’s a look back at the highlights, the energy, and the collective spirit that made our community stronger than ever. 💃🏽✨

🚀 Last week we explored exit opportunities for African startups. Takeaways: secondaries are the most realistic path, IPOs are rare, and building profitable businesses with clear PMF is crucial.

Excited for this! M&A looks more like the most REASONABLE exit path for VC investments. Great to have these 2 sides on the table: A VC who can provide context on the targeted exits and someone from the M&A side who can also share what REASONABLE acquisitions could look like).

This Thursday, we’re diving into Reasonable Exits in African Tech with Chidinma Okoli (Moniepoint) and Eugene Mwangi (Lightrock), hosted by Florent Nduwayezu 🚀 Want access to conversations like this? Join the A&A Collective: form.typeform.com/to/AZgzz8tE #AACollective
