Join us at the AGIS2026 Deal Room on the sidelines of Africa’s largest private capital week in Nairobi, as we connect investment-ready female founders with DFIs, PE/VCs, and institutional investors actively deploying capital.

Nairobi is calling. If you are a founder raising in the next 12 months or an investor looking for the continent's most scalable female-led ventures, this is your room. Secure your spot now: affcollective.org/deal-room

The "Female Founders Deal Room" is where the needle moves. May 1: We’ve scrapped the traditional pitch deck fatigue. Instead, we’re facilitating structured, bilateral meetings between pre-vetted founders and active diligence capital.

This is not just another summit. It’s where capital meets intent! We are officially counting down to the Africa Gender-Lens Investing Summit (AGIS) 2026 in Nairobi! Are you ready for the next frontier of African venture funding? affcollective.org/annual-summit
