The Head of Product at FlashChange, Emelia Sunday Edet, has warned that Africa’s venture capital ecosystem is inequitably directing resources by underfunding women led startups despite proven efficiency.
The warning follows a 2025 report by research platform, ‘Africa: The Big Deal’, showing African tech startup funding rebounded to roughly $3.2 billion, yet startups led by female CEOs accounted for just 2.2 percent of the total.
