Did you know that over 525 million people used the internet in Africa in 2019? If current growth trends continue, almost 75% of Africans are expected to come online by 2030.
Proparco, a leading development finance institution, has invested $5 million in Disruptech Ventures to accelerate the growth of Egypt’s fintech sector.
DisrupTech Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund aiming to provide seed funding to up to 28 startups. The VC fund raised $36 million from several investors, including Development Finance Institutions, Funds-of-funds and Family offices. The investment is projected to be an important financing source for Egyptian tech companies, which often struggle to raise capital to bring their innovations to market.
Launched two years ago, DisrupTech was established to support early-stage Fintech and Fintech-enabled digital services startups focusing on Egypt. The firm adopts a hands-on approach from the beginning, partnering with talented entrepreneurs to transform their vision into reality.
