Imali AI invoices on WhatsApp for a car repair workshop: a mechanic with a wrench works at a car wheel while his customer walks out to the car, and a white invoice page with a green glow flies across the workshop to a phone lying on the bench. The headline reads: Bill the customer before they leave. Below it: Start free on WhatsApp. The Imali AI logo sits top right.

Africa's tech funding soared 78% this year. Now, Lagos is hosting TechCabal's Moonshot to connect founders with global VCs for the next wave of deals and exits. Here’s what to expect from the continent's biggest innovation conference. #AfricanTech #VentureCapital #Moonshot2025
Lagos Prepares to Host the Dealmakers Set to Fuel Africa’s Next Tech Boom
The African tech scene is sending a clear signal: the funding winter is thawing, and it’s time to make deals. This October, all eyes will turn to Lagos as TechCabal’s flagship conference, Moonshot, brings together a massive convergence of global investors, venture capitalists, and the continent's most ambitious founders. The mission is simple but audacious: to forge the partnerships and exits that will define the next era of African tech. After a chilly period of global funding slowdowns, the numbers are starting to heat up. In the first half of 2025 alone, African startups raked in $1.42 billion across 243 deals, a staggering 78% jump from the previous year.
