Tune in tomorrow morning on @ARISEtv to hear our Founding Partner @AmakaOke talk about why Venture Capital investing is important for our economic growth, now more than ever. #venturecapital #investinginafrica #startups #africaneconomy

For Nigeria specifically, the dual combo of no grid power and high oil prices is likely to be a mainstay for some time to come. The sooner we invest in off grid as well as distributed clean energy, the sooner we build resilience to these economic shocks. #Weavcapital #Energy

4. The importance of alternative sources of clean energy should be obvious to Nigeria and other countries. We need to ramp up investments in cleantech solutions.

The current oil spike should be a boost to ramp up investments in clean energy. Last week, Our CEO @AmakaOke had an interview with @channelstv about the current hike in oil prices, and here are some of her thoughts:

It's a great moment for female investors. Congrats to @katie_haun for raising the largest VC fund by a solo female GP. 🚀🚀 We look forward to even more diversity in VC. #weavcapital #katiehaun #VentureCapital #seedfunding #capital

What tips do you have to break the bias all year round? Please share in the comments. #Weavcapital #VentureCapital #IWD #Startups #entrepreneur

8. If you have a gender pay gap, you have a problem – it either means that you’re not hiring enough women into senior positions, or women are being paid less for their work.

Every day should be international women’s day. Two weeks ago, it was great to celebrate the accomplishments of women on International Women’s Day and to see all the shows of support to breaking the bias. However, most companies have gone back to business as usual.

To really close the gender gap, we must close the say-do gap. It’s not enough for organizations and individuals to promote women only on March 8th each year, the talk must be followed with actions that impact women positively all year round.
