Launch to Seed: Beyond the Pitch Deck - True Investor Readiness

​Getting funding early stage in Africa is often about showing the right traction, clarity, and investor fit for where you are. What does that actually look like in practice? And what do investors expect when you're asking for pre-seed or seed capital?

​Join us for a candid and practical Fireside Chat with Fanta Traore, Senior Associate at Seedstars Africa Ventures, as we break down what it means to be truly investor-ready.

​Fanta brings a rare mix of experience, as a former founder who raised $5M and as an investor who has reviewed hundreds of decks across the continent. She’s worked across accelerators, funds, and ecosystems in both the U.S. and Africa, and will share what founders need to have in place to raise successfully, from traction to storytelling to data room essentials.

​Whether you’ve already started raising or are gearing up for your first conversations, this is a session designed to help you move with confidence.

​We’ll wrap with a live Q&A—bring your questions!
