As you have probably seen by now, during the first quarter of 2025, African start-ups raised $460m through $100k+ deals. And 52 of these start-ups raised at least $1m of funding in Q1. My question to all the investors out there - Why were only a bit more than 2% of the funding raised by female CEOs?
Happy New year 2025 to all entrepreneurs across the continent, may you have better connections in Jamii Trade Network.

New Energy Update and Innovation
Eco Wave Power is a leading onshore wave energy company that developed a patented, smart and cost-efficient technology for turning ocean and sea waves into green electricity.
Eco Wave Power’s mission is to assist in the fight against climate change by enabling commercial power production from the ocean and sea waves.
The Company owns and operates a grid connected wave energy project in Israel, with co-investment from EDF Renewables IL and the Israeli Energy Ministry, which recognized Eco Wave Power’s technology as “Pioneering Technology.” The Israeli wave energy project marks the first grid-connected wave energy system in Israel’s history.
Eco Wave Power will soon commence the installation of its third, fourth and fifth wave energy projects, in the Port of Los Angeles, Taiwan, and Portugal.
