Blacklight Africa Announces Open Call for Submissions to the 2021
100 Early-Stage African Startups Report (#100ESAS)
10 March, 2021 — Today, Blacklight Africa announced an open call for submissions to its inaugural 100 Early-Stage African Startups Report (the #100ESAS Report). The report will be published in late 2021 and will highlight African founders and Africa-based startups across the continent that have not yet made the leap to more advanced stages of funding. The report is intended in part to address the funding gap between early-stage startups and the rapid growth necessary to attract later-stage investors. Blacklight Africa is accepting submissions from Africa-based startups continent-wide. Download full media release.
