    Africa Early Stage Investor Summit 2025

    About this event

    Business • Investment

    ABAN and VC4A are pleased to present the 12th edition of the Africa Early-Stage Investor Summit (#AESIS2025), the continent’s premier gathering of early-stage investors, angel networks, venture capitalists, and ecosystem builders.

    Taking place in Cape Town, South Africa, from 27-28 November, #AESIS2025 continues to set the agenda for investing in Africa’s next generation of startups.

    From a modest $2M invested in 2014 to a vibrant $2.9B ecosystem in 2023, AESIS has become the heartbeat of early-stage capital in Africa.

    This year, we embrace a theme that speaks to long-term transformation:

    “Africa, Built To Last: Capital, Strategy, Ownership”

    We will explore how bold capital, visionary leadership, and strategic adaptation are building an investment ecosystem that’s resilient, inclusive, and authentically African.

    With immersive content, high-level networking, and unique investor experiences, AESIS2025 offers a platform to discover opportunity, build partnerships, and define the future of African innovation.
