Supported by UK Aid, FSD Africa is dedicated to building and strengthening financial markets across Africa. Their work in startup and SME support, investment and gender lens strategies continues to make a significant impact. BFA Global's TECA was created to support very early stage founders in the climate resilience space and help them get meaningful solutions off the ground. We're excited for the FSDA and TECA teams to join us in helping to make this year's event even more impactful! Ticket sales close on Monday!

Lyndsay Holley Handler and the team at Delta40 Venture Studio walk the talk when it comes to supporting women founders, particularly in the climate space. What their team has achieved in the last few years alone is incredible. As Lyndsay says, the data shows that women founders perform better and deliver higher returns. We're excited to partner with the Delta40 team for the #WWBAAssembly next week. Get your tickets before they sell out!
We are excited to partner with Women Who Build Africa in bringing together thought leaders, innovators and female founders across the continent. We are not just checking an ESG Box - we are doing this because Female Founders are building businesses with more revenue, profit, and exits. Yet less than 4% of equity is invested in Female CEOs. The assembly kicks off in just one week, make sure to join in the conversation and register here: https://lnkd.in/dmGhaHqf #partnershipannouncement #delta40 #africanwomenleaders Lyndsay Holley Handler
