The Summit Features

The United States ambassador to Kenya and former CEO of eBay and Hewlett-Packard, Meg Whitman, is among the confirmed speakers for the fourth (4th) Africa Tech Female Founder Summit.

At the headline session, which will feature a fireside chat with Meg Whitman, she’s to discuss her global experience scaling technology businesses.

The second feature is the event’s keynote address, which will be handled by Odunayo Eweniyi, co-founder and COO of Piggyvest. She will share her scale journey of building Africa’s largest wealthtech company, and thereafter, will be followed by a panel discussion on leveraging operations, people and finance to scale sustainably.

The third speaker is Rose Goslinga of insurtech leader Pula; she will also deliver a masterclass on OKRs. The summit will also feature female C-suite executives and founders from Africa’s leading tech companies, including Adia Sowho of MTN Nigeria, Radhika Bachu of Ndovu and Tebogo Mokwena of Akiba Digital.

Starting from the era of COVID-19 pandemic, the summit has been held virtually, but this year, TLcom announced that the summit’s format is back to in-person. TLcom has now opened up applications for women techpreneurs across Africa and the diaspora to attend.

Omobola Johnson, the Senior Partner at TLcom Capital, commented on the event that “This year’s summit will tackle head-on some of the challenges female founders face while moving the conversation on to actionable strategies for scaling their businesses.

“The prospect of scaling for women entrepreneurs can often prove daunting due to the obstacles that arise, severely limiting their business growth. We are actively challenging our attendees to be bolder and even more ambitious in a bid to combat this.

“Considering the growing number of female-led, tech-enabled businesses on the continent with potential for huge economic upside, it’s time to break this cycle. With the right strategic support, we firmly believe this emerging class of female-run start-ups can ultimately challenge the status quo in becoming Africa’s next generation of unicorns.”

About TLcom Capital 

TLcom Capital LLP is a venture capital firm based in Nairobi, Lagos and London, investing since 1999 in Telecom, Media and Technology (TMT) companies in Europe, Israel and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). TLcom manages total commitments in excess of €200 million.

In July of 2017, TLcom held the first close of its new TLcom TIDE Africa fund, targeting $100m to invest in tech start-ups across Africa, focused on acceptability, fintech, commerce, consumer services (from health and education to energy and media) and services for corporates and SMEs.

The fund is focused on helping the best companies utilise mobile as a platform to address and solve Africa’s most pressing needs.

Its overall commitment across its entire market is approximately $300 million.

Maurizio Caio, Founder and Managing Partner of TLcom, established the company in 1999 with an initial strategy covering Europe and Israel.

Over the last ten years, TLcom has developed an interest in African commercial venture capital. TLcom raised an Africa VC fund about five years ago, and the fund closed its first round in 2017. The mobile revolution in Africa played a major role in the formation of the first international venture capital fund exclusively focused on tech-enabled business models for Sub-Saharan Africa.

TLcom understood that startups were emerging across Africa and was dedicated to providing funds that enabled them to take advantage of the new opportunities to solve problems unique to the continent. The Africa-focused Capital firm also supports those with innovative business models and high-growth opportunities.
