An Exclusive List of Highly Active Investors (VCs, Angels, DFIs, and Corporates) Deploying Capital in African Startups in 2026

While headlines scream about the "funding winter," smart founders are still closing deals. The difference? They know exactly who's writing checks in 2026.

This isn't another recycled list of VC websites. This is intelligence: 400+ funds actively deploying capital right now, 400+ angel investors taking meetings, and the best to get you from cold outreach to term sheet.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Which funds closed new vehicles in the last 6 months (and are hungry to deploy)
• The 2025 backers who led the most rounds—and their investment theses
• Sector-specific angels actively writing $25K-$250K checks

African startups raised $3B+ in 2025. The winners weren't the best ideas—they were the founders/consultants who knew where to look and how to ask. Your next 12 months depend on having the same advantage.
