VC4A and ABAN are looking back at a successful edition of the 7th and virtual edition of the Africa Early Stage Investor Summit (#AESIS2020). The Summit took place on 3 & 4 November online. With a number of record-level deals making the headlines over the last year, Africa’s startup industry is ripe for investment. During the two-day virtual Summit, we came together, interacted and collaborated on deals – to invest in a resilient Africa.
AESIS is ‘for investors, by investors’. To ensure this investor community is able to connect and continue important discussions during these unprecedented times, VC4A and ABAN offer investors the opportunity to join free of charge. You are welcome to invite your networks, but keep in mind the Summit is investor-only.
Day 1 of the Summit features a fireside chat, panel discussions, technical sessions, and the VC4A Venture Showcase – Seed.

Day 2 of the Summit features a fireside chat, panel discussions, technical sessions, and the VC4A Venture Showcase – Series A.

Investing in Afritech Start-ups
Empowering builders of next generation African companies
We partner with creative teams to build inspiring companies
We believe that the future of the small business economy will be driven by data
Investing in Africa's future
VC4A is excited to see the Venture Showcase becoming a great example of true industry collaboration. The vetting process is fully undertaken by our partnering external investors, where these organizations refer their portfolio companies ready for the next round. These investors then assess the opportunities and ultimately decide who will appear on the virtual #AESIS2020 stage.
Investor participation has been outstanding this year, with 70+ major VCs and multiple angel groups and leading accelerators involved in the process. We believe initiatives like this help to build trust and foster collaboration between industry stakeholders, and importantly, create both co-investment opportunities and exit opportunities for our partners.
