This report examines the financing gaps
for early stage and growth that high-growth technology
entrepreneurs are facing in the information and
communication technology (ICT), climate technology, and
innovative agribusiness sectors in Zambia and Mozambique,
with a more regional review of Namibia and Botswana as
possible. It analyzes the unmet needs of these entrepreneurs
- perceived demand and latent demand - as well as the
existing sources of supply of private capital for seed and
early-stage investment, and defines the adequacy to meet
these needs. The report also explores the challenges that
angel investors have experienced in the past when attempting
to finance early- and growth-stage start-ups in the region
and, if and where appropriate, make recommendations relating
to infoDev's possible interventions. |
