All but the most promising and well-run VC-backed startups struggled to raise funding as venture capital investors became much more selective than they were just a few years ago. As a result, startups that weren’t yet able to sustain their operations without additional funding ran out of money and closed up shop.
Africa Dismay and Startup Going Down
VC funding in the African startup ecosystem has steadily declined in 2023, causing experts to worry about the future of the once fast-growing sector.
With fewer investors willing to bet on the continent during the tech downturn, the funding crunch has triggered mass layoffs, slashed valuations, and the liquidation of several African startups.
Recent news reports of mismanagement and fraud have impacted investor perception, leading to increased scrutiny and demand for credibility from local and global investors.
The funding crunch has already caused several casualties. Since the beginning of the year, at least 10 African startups.
2023 has been a difficult year for African startups. The global economic downturn has led to a decrease in venture capital funding for startups worldwide, including African startups. Funding for African startups has dropped significantly, with estimates suggesting a decline of 50% or more compared to 2022.
Other reasons for the shutdown of African startups in 2023 include:
Fewer investors willing to bet on the continent
Mass layoffs
Slashed valuations
Liquidation of several African startups
Fund mismanagement
Unfavorable market conditions
Challenges associated with certain business models
Lack of liquidity in the market
Difficulties startups use to regularly raising capital
Inability to convince investors
Other challenges that impact the success of startups in Sub-Saharan Africa include: Infrastructure deficits, Regulatory obstacles, Limited mentorship, Frugality issues, Inadequate marketing and branding. The absence of internet connection is also a factor in limiting the expansion of E-commerce and other business online transactions. This is not just in the rural areas but also in the cities.
Some notable African startups that shut down in 2023 include:
HytchA Nigerian B2B logistic platform that shut down because it “couldn’t raise [funding] and couldn’t sustain the business with just the money [it was] making”
OkadaBooksA Nigerian digital publishing platform that shut down due to unspecified “insurmountable challenges”
DashA Ghanaian payments startup that folded in October amid allegations of financial impropriety and false reporting
TOP TEN African Startups Not Celebrating the New Year 2024
Sub-Saharan Africa faces unique challenges that impact the success of startups. An article published on Medium in April 2023 outlines these challenges, including a lack of funding, infrastructure deficits, regulatory obstacles, limited mentorship, frugality issues, and inadequate marketing and branding.
Sendy: In August, Kenyan end-to-end fulfillment startup Sendy shut down operations and announced a fire sale of assets (it didn’t call it that), with reports saying reduced order volumes and fuel price hikes meant it was making deliveries at a loss, and had a monthly burn rate of US$1 million. Sendy raised US$20 million in capital as recently as January 2020, but in the current climate further funding was not to be found.
54gene: 54gene, a genomics research company that had raised US$45 million across three funding rounds, revealed in September that it had started winding down its operations. 54gene, which has had three CEOs in the last 12 months.
Dash: Ghanaian payments startup Dash, founded in 2019, had raised a whopping US$86 million, but folded in October amid allegations of financial impropriety and false reporting.
WhereIsMyTransport: South African mobility startup WhereIsMyTransport, bankrolled to the tune of over US$27 million by investors such as Naspers in recent years, announced it was closing down in October after failing to secure more investment.
Lazerpay: In April, Lazerpay, a Nigerian crypto and web3 company, confirmed it was shutting down operations after failing to raise additional funding. The startup had laid off some employees last year after the proposed lead investor for its seed round withdrew due to the “market conditions and disagreement on terms”.
Zumi: Kenyan B2B e-commerce startup Zumi announced in March it had closed down after failing to secure the necessary funding to continue operations. Launched in 2016, Zumi began life as a female-focused digital magazine, before pivoting into e-commerce in 2020. According to co-founder and CEO William McCarren, the startup achieved over US$20 million in sales, acquired 5,000 customers, and built a team of 150 people, but closed after failing to secure investment.
Zazuu: Last month, Zazuu, a London-based marketplace for African remittance companies that and raised more than US$2 million in total funding, also shut down, also citing a lack of funding.
Hytch: In February, Nigerian logistics startup Hytch confirmed it had shut down barely nine months after launch.
Okada Books: Nigeria’s Okada Books, founded in 2013 and a pioneer in digital publishing and bookselling, closed down last month, citing rough macroeconomic conditions.
Pivo: Formed by Ijeoma Akwiwu and Nkiru Amadi-Emina in July 2021 and launched in public beta in September, Pivo offered banking services to small supply chain businesses, and raised a US$2 million seed round a little over a year ago. It, too, has now closed its doors, though by all accounts founder conflict also played a part.
Copia: Kenyan e-commerce company Copia, which raised US$50 million Series C funding last year, announced it was pulling out of Uganda, “consistent with many of the best companies in Africa and across the world which are responding to the market environment and prioritising profit.”
MarketForce: Another Kenyan retail-tech startup, MarketForce, is also facing challenges. The company raised US$40 million in funding in February of last year, back in the boom times, but stunningly, certain VCs that had committed funds backed out. In all, US$8 million of that capital was never wired. MarketForce has struggled to raise more capital, announced a bunch of layoffs, and recently turned to crowdfunding to get some cash in the bank.
Twiga Foods: Twiga Foods, a platform that connects Kenyan farmers to food vendors, recently secured undisclosed funding as part of a business refinancing process, just weeks after facing a KES40 million (USD 262,000) debt collection lawsuit. Twiga secured the new funding from Creadev, Juven, TLcom Capital Partners, and DOB Equity, investors that participated in the US$50 million Series C round it raised in 2021.
Paystack: Nigerian payments company Paystack, acquired by Stripe in 2020, has been steadily growing its geographical presence since then, but is now taking a step back. The company announced last month it had reduced its operations outside of Africa, cutting its workforce in Europe and Dubai.

★★ Version ★ English ★ Française★★ ★★Version ★★★★English Africa and Subcapitalism: Strategy of National Development? or Business Model for Global Integration ★★Version ★★★★Française L’Afrique et Lire la suite
What is incredible is that everybody wants to be an expert on Africa and the Sahel Region.
Hyper Inflation of Expertise! Loss of Convertibility! Value Depreciation of Assets! Layoffs as Remedy! Filing for Bankruptcy! Recession and Stagflation! New Expertise on Horizon!
Where all this expertise was when Africa was driven and conditioned to arrive where it is now?
Where are all these Experts of the World Bank, IMF, Euro Banks, and all the institutions that were pushing for conditionality and growth based on building infrastructure financed by External Public Debt and just to lay down the logistics to sign Free Trade Agreements and attract foreign capital which all have seen their limits and their distorting results like used to be the import-substitution programs, the privatizations policies, the Tight Belt strategy, and the Sustained Development and Good Governance based and promoting constitutionalism, pluralism and democracy!
What are the benefits of all these recommendations by the Experts who were paid from the External Public Debt?
What happened to these supposed developments promised by all these strategies developed in High Rise Ivory Towers of New York, Paris, London, and Davos?
Where is the positiveness of these international conferences, declarations to the press, and the conveyors of liberalism and the defenders of Globalization as a remedy for Africa?
First time in the history of Africa, we have a foreign military presence from the West, the Middle East, and the Far East as the consecration of Kaddafi’s elimination and disappearance as the last drop that makes the African Vase spills over the Subsaharn arid lands and hungry minds.
Why does the US need Africa?
Sub-Saharan Africa is critical to advancing our global priorities. It has one of the world’s fastest-growing populations, the largest free trade areas, the most diverse ecosystems, and one of the largest regional voting groups in the United Nations (UN).
Why is Africa so poor if it is so rich in resources?
Analysts of their portfolio of investments with the companies and countries that are exploiting Africa say that alleged corruption and poor leadership on the continent are to blame for the lack of development of African countries and the abuse and mismanagement of the continent’s natural resources. Oct 5, 2022
Why is there terrorism in Africa? Is this terrorism or a reaction against the lack of equity, justice, and distribution of wealth?
Despair, poverty, hunger, lack of basic services, unemployment, and unconstitutional changes in Government continue to lay fertile ground for the expansion of terrorist groups across the continent. Mar 28, 2023
All we get from all these experts is a description of the status quo putting the blame on these adventurous coup d’Etat, Coup d’Eclat and Coup de Boutoir, a narration like a litany or like a eulogy on the burring of democracy and so on while Africa should come back to pluralism, constitutionalism, “parlementarism” and democratism or “electoralism” and one great piece was still missing: “Euroethnocentrism” and “Eurocentralism” if not it should be the “Westernarism” as the new political concept missing in Africa’s drive toward Militarism!
Why is Africa important to the world?
The continent holds a huge proportion of the world’s natural resources, both renewables and non-renewables. Africa is home to some 30 percent of the world’s mineral reserves, eight percent of the world’s natural Gas, and 12 percent of the world’s oil reserves.
What does France get from Niger?
That is important for Niger, which has one of the largest reserves of uranium in the world. France has operated uranium mining companies in Niger for over 50 years and gets between 10 and 15% of the natural resource from its former colony. France counts on nuclear energy to power around 70% of its energy needs.
The French presence in Africa dates to the 17th century, but the main period of colonial expansion came in the 19th century with the invasion of Ottoman Algiers in 1830, conquests in West and Equatorial Africa during the so-called scramble for Africa, and the establishment of protectorates in Tunisia and Morocco in the …Feb 25, 2016
First, Africa must be creative and innovative as well as a leading force in terms of concept, operation, and results regarding the core competencies and related deviations and abuses that capitalism has created and inculcated in Africa itself. , including the predominant form of sub-capitalism. due to the interaction with the international market and the turnover of governments and leaders and their close tribal allies and trading partners responsible for Africa’s current slump.
Africa needs to become the place of the creation of New Forms of Economic Interactions, Social Responsible Relationships and Financial Accountability, and Transparent Governance with leading orientations and implications in terms of Democratic Representation and share of decision-making.
Africa does not need to import Capitalism in its actual form which is costing the advanced countries at many levels of its own components which everyday erodes its foundations of shrinking profit and reproduction reducing to the bare bone the reasons of its own existence. All this imposes to capitalism to seek alternatives of cost-reduction of labor and production which is now identified in the development and the use of a high degree of automation and artificial intelligence and with lesser concerns for climate change and the environment.
Version Française
Tout d’abord, l’Afrique doit être créative et innovante ainsi qu’une force dirigeante en termes de concept, de fonctionnement et de résultats concernant les compétences de base et les déviations et abus connexes que le capitalisme a créés et inculqués en Afrique même, y compris la forme prédominante de sous-capitalisme. en raison de l’interaction avec le marché international et de la rotation des gouvernements et des dirigeants et de leurs proches alliés tribaux et partenaires commerciaux responsables du marasme actuel de l’Afrique.
L’Afrique doit devenir le lieu de création de nouvelles formes d’interactions économiques, de relations socialement responsables et de responsabilité financière et de gouvernance transparente avec des orientations et des implications de premier plan en termes de représentation démocratique et de part de la prise de décision.
L’Afrique n’a pas besoin d’importer le capitalisme sous sa forme actuelle qui coûte aux pays avancés à de nombreux niveaux ses propres composants, ce qui érode tous les jours ses fondements de la baisse des profits et de la reproduction, réduisant au strict minimum les raisons de sa propre existence. Tout cela impose au capitalisme de rechercher des alternatives de réduction des coûts de main-d’œuvre et de production qui sont désormais identifiées dans le développement et l’utilisation d’un haut degré d’automatisation et d’intelligence artificielle et avec moins de soucis pour le changement climatique et l’environnement.
Africa in the Eye of the West and in the Hands of the East
Africa has seen what European Capitalism has evolved into during the period of global colonialism. Africa is actually witnessing what has happened to the Southeastern economies [New Industrialized Countries and Dragon of Asia] and the following gradual substitution of Japan and later on of China as a factory of the Western economies. Change evolution was defined by the choice made by these countries in regard to their international and global integration without negotiating the corresponding terms and conditions on a renewed contractual basis with limited time, territory, content, and even products and services with the interested states in the Western world.
Capitalism needs to be reformed in the sense of social responsibility and progress of humanity to preserve Natural Resources, including Human Resources and Financial Resources to make Africa to be self-centered and even “with selfishness” that concentrate and focus on the needs and obligations of its own Citizens first without altering their involvement in defining and choosing their own destiny and their local, regional and global partners.
L’Afrique a vu ce qu’est devenu le capitalisme européen pendant la période du colonialisme mondial. L’Afrique est en fait témoin de ce qui est arrivé aux économies du Sud-Est [Nouveaux pays industrialisés et Dragon d’Asie] et à la substitution progressive suivante du Japon puis de la Chine comme usine des économies occidentales. L’évolution du changement a été définie par le choix fait par ces pays en ce qui concerne leur intégration internationale et mondiale sans négocier les termes et conditions correspondants sur une base contractuelle renouvelée durée, territoire, contenu et même produits et services avec les États intéressés du monde occidental.
Le capitalisme doit être réformé dans le sens de la responsabilité sociale et du progrès de l’humanité pour préserver les ressources naturelles, y compris les ressources humaines et les ressources financières pour rendre l’Afrique égocentrique et même “avec égoïsme” qui se concentre et se concentre sur les besoins et les obligations de ses propres citoyens d’abord sans altérer leur implication dans la définition et le choix de leur propre destin et de leurs partenaires locaux, régionaux et mondiaux.
