Our Five35 Team had an incredible last week attending events at the African Venture Finance Programme at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. It was full of rich learnings and engaging discussions with thought-leaders and fund managers who are driving transformation and impact within the African venture capital ecosystem. We truly believe that these communities and conversations are crucial in sustaining momentum, achieving meaningful progress and advancing gender-focused investments on the continent. For putting together such a successful program, a big thank you to European Investment Bank (EIB) DEG Impact KfW Boost Africa Technical Assistance Facility Adam Smith International David van Dijk Fatou Touré Maria Tomàs-Rodó Aunnie Patton Power Thomas Hellmann

Congratulations Kasha Global, Inc.!!
Exciting Announcement: 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗯𝘆 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗼𝗳𝗶 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗞𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹! The investment will support Kasha's expansion into more countries across Africa, increase capabilities in Kasha's technology platform and further grow Kasha's ability to drive equitable access of health products across the continent. Joanna Bichsel, Kasha's Founder and CEO, says: “It’s an exciting milestone for Kasha to partner so closely with Sanofi who is an important strategic partner for us. Over the years and across our countries of operations in Africa, Kasha has seen the fast growing demand for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and hypertension. With this investment, we will scale up the awareness of NCDs and other health issues and make it easier and more affordable for people to get the medications they need, especially lower income and rural customers. Leveraging Kasha’s technology platform to drive access in a customer-driven and data-driven way, together Kasha and Sanofi can change the game in enabling full access to quality pharmaceuticals in Africa.” Jon Fairest, Sanofi Head of the Global Health Unit, says: “We are excited to play a role in Kasha’s scale-up journey as an investor and partner through the Global Health Unit's Impact Investment Fund. Kasha has built a unique physical and tech infrastructure for the last mile, enabling greater access to basic health products even in the most remote areas leveraging adjusted supply chain and a broad network of agents. We recognize the importance of investing in local entrepreneurial businesses that strengthen and support sustainable healthcare delivery models and improve outcomes. Sanofi’s Global Health Unit is dedicated to improving access to sustainable healthcare for vulnerable populations with the highest unmet medical needs.” #HealthTech #Africa #Startups #BigPharma #Health #Technology #Investment #Impact #HighGrowth Guillaume LAURIOZ Laura Collet Jon Fairest Knife Capital Finnfund Beyond Capital Ventures Bamboo Capital Partners Mastercard Five35 Ventures Altree Capital Yara Hattab Stasia Obremskey Joanna Bichsel Keet van Zyl Johanna Raehalme Tim Koogle Pam Scott Jodi Morris George Hall Eva Yazhari Zachariah George Janade Du Plessis Hema Vallabh Jenni Chamberlain Mumba Mumba Nafisa Jiwani Zain Shamim Winnie Ibukayo Mwangi Swedfund International Sorenson Impact Foundation Theresa Preston-Werner Maggie Chan Jones Sharon Weinberg 1to4 Foundation U.S. International Development Finance Corporation
