eVA Fund with Dutch origin is putting capital in some really promising startups in Africa (mainly Kenya and Ghana, for now). They have invested in Pesapal, Verviant, among others. Right on their site, they know one thing is going to redesign Africa – the undersea cables that will cut costs and improve bandwidth. In other words, if you do not get into the game now, you will regret it because very soon, the web solution in Africa will expand because prices will crash and more people will afford most of the services. And that will provide opportunities in the continent.
We think we need to bring this firm to you notice.
