Monocle Banking podcast.
South Africa’s venture capital ecosystem has quietly come of age. The question is: who’s paying attention?
Michael Avery is joined by Alison Collier, MD of Endeavor South Africa; Antonia Bothner, capital markets lead at Endeavor South Africa; Lumka Mlambo, fund principal at the SA SME Fund; and Anusha Naidu, CEO of the Southern African Venture Capital and Private Equity Association. Together, they explore why South Africa’s venture capital market is gaining global credibility.
The conversation unpacks the country’s growing track record of successful exits, the unique market conditions driving innovation, and why local start-ups are increasingly attracting international acquirers.
