About the AfriLabs Connect Deal Room (ACDR)
The AfriLabs Connect Deal Room (ACDR) is a platform based initiative of AfriLabs designed to tackle the inherent issues of identifying, funding and accessing investible startups of the African innovation ecosystem valued at $6.6 billion as at 2021 according to the 2021 Global Startup Ecosystem Report by Startup Genome. The mission of the initiative is to facilitate financing for innovative startups across various sectors in Africa and providing investment funds access to a Pan African pipeline of investible and de-risked startups. The ACDR will enable investors and funds register their portfolio of startups into an exclusive pool, to be selected to match/link with investors and funds based on both parties requirements i.e ticket sizes, sector of interest and other criteria, in addition to follow-on support by the AfriLabs ecosystem of over 400 physical innovation and technology hubs in 52 countries.
This initiative will be managed on the AfriLabs Connect ; a purpose-built ecosystem engagement platform that brings together the largest community of innovation enablers in Africa.
