Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
General information for the business: We invest in tech startups, focused on Africa
Industry: Business
Geographical areas: African continent
Data to include: Data to include:
1) Person's Full Name
2) Category (Angel investor, venture capital investor, corporate venture capital fund, family office)
3) Company
4) Job Title
5) Location
6) LinkedIn or website URL
7) 1 sentence what they are interested in investing in, if there is a quick description on website
8) Email address if possible
Extra notes: Background:
We run a startup accelerator programme for early-stage tech companies. They are businesses related to financial services in some way (payments, money management, insurance, savings platforms, etc), and following 3 months with us we organise a large Demo Day event where the companies present to an audience of investors. We are working on our guest list for that Demo Day and making sure that we invite all the relevant investors from across the African continent (the event is in South Africa, but we expect people will travel from other countries as well).
Ask:
We are looking for people anywhere in Africa that invest in startup companies. These will typically fall into four categories:
a) Angel investors
b) Venture capital investors
c) Corporate venture capital funds
d) Family offices
Looking for somebody that has prior knowledge of the startup and/or investor community, as this will be very difficult to complete well without that insight.
Also note that for venture capital and corporate venture capital funds, we’d typically invite two people from each so you can include two different investors from the same company in those cases. Ideally pick 2 partners or 1 partner and 1 associate.
What I am NOT looking for:
Business coaches, consultants, consultants that claim to help startups raise investment. We are looking for people that actually have money to invest.
Data to include:
1) Person's Full Name
2) Category (Angel investor, venture capital investor, corporate venture capital fund, family office)
3) Company
4) Job Title
5) Location
6) LinkedIn or website URL
7) 1 sentence what they are interested in investing in, if there is a quick description on website
8) Email address if possible
Location Breakdown:
Looking for approximately the following breakdown within the list of 300:
South Africa - approximately 150
Other parts of Africa - approximately 150
Timing:
Looking for someone that has availability to complete by Sunday night 8th May if possible.
Tips:
You will find some lists online of “Top startup investors in country X” which may be useful, especially for South Africa & Kenya and possibly Nigeria & Ghana.
You can use angellist.co and crunchbase.com to see startups in Africa who have raised investment before, and you can see who their investors were.
You can use LinkedIn to search for people that have listed they work in “venture capital” or that have labelled themselves “angel investor” (although with angel investor label, make sure they are not really consultants).
Thank you very much!
