The African Checkbook

The African Checkbook is a podcast that tells the unadorned stories of flow of capital and growth of businesses throughout the African continent. We have conversations with the doers — investors, founders, and market insiders — to learn and relate what it takes to fund ideas, earn a return and build wealth on the continent. We highlight experiences, risks, and relationships that are shaping the financial fate of Africa. We show in detail ways of fundraising, the direction of capital, and obstacles that may appear. Sometimes things go right, sometimes they don't - and we talk about both. We breakdown complex finance in a simple, easy, transparent, and human way. Regardless of whether you are in the process of launching a business, managing a fund, or simply curious, this podcast provides you with first-hand and direct information. The main idea is to hear, to relate, and to educate ourselves on the potential of our continent. The African Checkbook is the place where money harmonizes with meaning.
