OUR BOOK OF THE MONTH! The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future by Sebastian Mallaby explores the history and impact of venture capital (VC) on global innovation. The book delves into how VC firms have played a crucial role in funding transformative companies like Google, Apple, and Facebook. Mallaby explains the "power law" principle—where a small number of investments yield massive returns—and how VCs use this strategy to navigate high-risk, high-reward opportunities. Through case studies and interviews, the book provides insights into the mindset, strategies, and influence of venture capitalists in shaping modern economies. #angelinvestors #onafrica

Last week, some of our amazing angel investors at OnAfrica spent some time at the "Meet the Investors Session" at Startupbootcamp/ Timbuktoo /UNDP health tech program. One key piece of advice that stood out for our founders: investors want to see real-world impact alongside a strong, scalable business model. It’s not just about the initial idea, but about how founders plan to execute and drive growth. The ability to demonstrate tangible results and a clear path forward is what makes a startup truly stand out.
