Stephen Deng's post on the @Terrahaptix round diagnosed the symptom. Let me name the disease.

African VC doesn't have worldviews. It has checklists. 🧵 The reason Terra was "out of mandate" for almost every African VC isn't because it was risky.
It's because our investors don't have philosophical frameworks that let them see risk differently.

They have boxes. Impact. Fintech. B2B SaaS. If you don't fit, you don't get funded

I grew up with the first generation of young African immigrants who broke into Tech in the San Francisco/Silicon Valley area. Folks who worked at Google, Facebook, Uber, etc. Young Africans with six-figure salaries that their immigrant parents could only dream of at their age. We catered to this demographic in the Bay Area through Afrobeats events and multiple nationalities from across Africa were represented. Ethiopians, Nigerians, Ghanaians, Kenyans, Senegalese, Eritreans, Zambians etc.
