African tech startup funding drops over 50 percent amid global capital shortage

Investment in the African tech startup ecosystem plummeted by over 50% in 2024, totaling $1.1 billion, marking the second consecutive year of decline amid a global capital shortage. Despite the downturn, the "big four" markets—Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya, and South Africa—maintained their funding share, with fintech remaining the most favored sector, albeit also experiencing a significant drop in investment. As the number of active investors decreased by 35%, hopes for recovery are bolstered by improving Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 figures.
