From Africa to the Globe: Tidjane Deme, General Partner of Partech Africa

In this episode of Fintech Leaders, Miguel Armaza interviews Tidjane Deme, General Partner of Partech Africa, one of the largest Africa-focused venture capital funds with close to $500 million in assets under management. The conversation delves deep into the African fintech landscape, with Deme sharing his insights on the innovative companies and markets in the continent, fundraising lessons from building one of the first and largest dedicated African VC firms, important differences between VC investing in Africa versus a market like the US or Europe, launching Partex annual Africa Tech eventual Capital report, and much more.

According to Deme, there are numerous strong African players in the infrastructure space who aren’t staying in Africa but rather going global. This is due to the fintech companies in Africa that are addressing emerging market problems and are likely the first global champions to emerge from Africa.
