The two most common ticket size ranges for deals to AgTech startups were below $100,000 and more than $1 million. Deals below $100,000 accounted for 59% of deals in the last twelve months, up from just over a third of deals in the previous period. While these very early-stage deals saw the largest growth, deals more than $1 million remained somewhat stable at around 20%, and other mid-range ticket sizes declined.

Excited to have attended the #sankalpafrica2024 Investment Summit last week! The summit aimed to discuss ways to increase financing for greener and more inclusive growth across Africa. It brought together innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, founders, SMEs, in the impact and sustainable investment economy space. They shared valuable insights and opportunities for collaboration to unlock climate financing opportunities for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise growth. I was impressed by their businesses' use of technology and innovation to address some of Africa's pressing challenges, such as #climatechange, #wastemanagement, #pollutioncontrol,#renewablenergy, #healthcare, and #foodsecurity. This year's Sankalp Forum theme was "Catalyzing Impact: Igniting Africa's Potential for Just Transition." It invited attendees to focus on designing more inclusive approaches to identifying and funding #green startup initiatives in Africa. This is at the core of Charm Impact's work, and I look forward to turning our conversations into action. I am also thrilled to have been featured in CapitalFM Station. Check out the piece below to learn more about my experience at the summit and how Charm Impact is contributing to the growth of a greener and more inclusive Africa! #partofthecharm,#sustainability #blendedfinance #cleanenergy, #Impactinvesting Gavriel Landau,Lorraine Vuguza Indangasi,Samuel N.
