Africa's VC market is around 2013-2014 Southeast Asia's market. The numbers are uncanny:

2014 Southeast Asia: $1.163B
Deals:
2018 Africa: 164 rounds
2013 Southeast Asia: 165 rounds

One of the biggest barriers early-stage African startups face is simply time to raise. How much slower is it?
~5X slower

Where else do the similarities continue? Young and growing population, rapid urbanization and digitalization, growing smartphone penetration (but prohibitive data costs in some areas)... Differences being SEA consumers being more digitally native?
I would argue African consumers are just as digitally native although USSD plays a much more critical role in some countries. The similarities are numerous. We'll have a longer piece on this soon - stay tuned.
Very interesting. One big difference however is that African market is fragmented into several main hubs. The SEA digital market is much mote integrated with Singapore as core and both hard and soft infrastructure in place
but over the past couple years the cost of data in India fell dramatically. Africans on avg pay nearly 8% of their monthly income on 1GB of data, Indians less than 2%. in order for the Af digital economy to take off in the same exponential way, the cost of data has to fall
Yes, it's a barrier. We haven't seen someone as aggressive as @reliancejio yet. USSD is both the great enabler and the the source of stagnation.
Right now, we see folks zero rating and designing very data lite apps. It almost forms a kind of 'innovation debt.'
