Tunis – March 25, 2024 – ANAVA, the fund of funds backed by the World Bank, CDC, and KFW, is excited to announce its commitment to invest \u20ac4 Million in Janngo Capital Startup Fund (JCSF), Africa\u2019s largest gender equal technology fund and Janngo Capital Partners\u2019 second investment vehicle. With a target size of \u20ac60 Million, the fund commits to invest in about twenty-five startups in francophone Africa, including Tunisia, targeting early-stage tech and tech-enabled startups that (1) enable Africans to improve their access to essential goods and services such as healthcare, education or financial services, (2) enable African Start-ups to improve their access to market & capital, or (3) create sustainable jobs at scale, with a focus on women and youth. With proven investment track record in Tunisia, including the early investment and successful exit in Expensya, the Fund is backed by top-tier investors such as European Investment Bank (EIB), Africa Development Bank (AfDB) and Proparco, and a \u20ac10 million first loss mechanism provided by the European Commission through the Boost Africa initiative. \u201cThis is ANAVA first investment in Pan-African funds. It will help Tunisian Startups to widen its market and its presence in growing Africa and ANAVA to build connections with other global players on the continent\u201d comments Alaya Bettaieb, Director General of Smart Capital. \u201cAn additional 4 million euros equity investment in Janngo Capital Startup Fund from Smart Capital will increase funding for innovative tech startups in Africa, in particular Francophone countries and companies founded by women,\u201d comments Fatoumata B\u00e2, Founder and Executive Chair of Janngo Capital. \u201cThis commitment directly contributes towards investing in leading early-stage start-ups to help unlock a massive growth and positive economic, social and environmental impact, in Tunisia and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
