Mark your calendars for 23rd April 2025 for this ABAN Masterclass on “Beyond Equity: Unlocking the Power of Debt for Angel Investors in Africa.”
If you are an investor or a startup founder, you know that equity financing has often been the go-to method for funding. But there’s a growing recognition that debt financing could be just as crucial for fueling sustainable growth, especially in emerging markets like Africa.
In this game-changing masterclass, ABAN will explore why debt should be an essential tool in your funding playbook.
Why Debt? Why Now?
Debt financing is not just about raising money, it’s about driving steady, predictable growth.
Many startups in Africa are scaling faster than ever, and using debt as a strategic tool can offer angel investors the opportunity to generate reliable returns while helping these companies grow. But how does it all work in practice, and why should investors consider it over traditional equity models? That’s where our incredible speakers come in.
