About This episode
Chasing venture capital isn’t always the right move. Tosin Faniro-Dada joins us to unpack what “venture-backable” really means in Africa—how to evaluate your traction, metrics, team, and growth potential. Learn how VCs think, which numbers actually matter, and how to fundraise with a milestone-driven approach rather than hype. This episode helps founders see whether VC fits their business today or if another capital path makes more sense.
