Emmanuel Adegboye是Madica的负责人，他花了三年时间押注一个即便按非洲标准来看也很不寻常的领域。\n\nMadica是由全球风险投资机构Flourish Ventures推出的专注非洲的投资项目，单笔投资额达20万美元，并已支持了十多家初创公司。其秉持的投资论点是大多数非洲投资者所不遵循的：非洲大陆上一些最好的早期公司恰恰位于无人关注的市场。\n\n作为Madica的负责人，Adegboye已将资金投入10个非洲市场。他认为，这既不是慈善也不是猎奇，而是机遇真正的所在地。大多数非洲风险投资都集中在相同的四个市场（尼日利亚、肯尼亚、南非和埃及），Adegboye表示，这反映的是投资者对地理位置的偏近而非项目的优劣。\n\n对于在非洲没有实体足迹的硅谷投资者来说，非洲很少是首要考虑的事项，这导致许多高潜力的初创公司因与其商业基本面完全无关的原因而得不到资金支持。Madica旨在解决这一市场失灵问题，并得到了Flourish Ventures的支持。\n\n他在达喀尔接受采访时表示：“最重要的事情，在某种程度上与Madica的模式息息相关，就是我们最初的论点，该论点至今依然成立：我们将支持那些在非洲大陆通常资金不足的各个行业、市场和创始人背景的创始人。”\n\n他补充道：“这种需求依然存在。”

Market Intel Dashboard

Emmanuel Adegboye, head of Madica, has spent three years making a bet that is unusual even by African standards. 

Madica, an Africa-focused investment programme launched by global venture firm Flourish Ventures, writes $200,000 cheques and has backed over a dozen startups on a thesis most African investors do not follow: some of the best early-stage companies on the continent are in markets nobody is watching.

As head of Madica, Adegboye has deployed capital into 10 African markets. He argues that this is neither charity nor exoticism, but where the opportunity actually sits. Most African venture investments are concentrated in the same four markets (Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Egypt), which Adegboye says reflects proximity to investors rather than merit.

For a Silicon Valley investor with no physical footprint on the continent, Africa is rarely top of mind, leaving high-potential startups unfunded for reasons entirely unrelated to their business fundamentals. Madica was built to address that market failure and is backed by Flourish Ventures. 

“The biggest thing, which in a sense ties to Madica’s model, is our original thesis, which still holds: that we would back founders across sectors, markets, and founder profiles that are typically underfunded on the continent,” he told me from Dakar.  

“That need still exists,” he added.
