Tunisia-based private equity firm Africinvest has teamed up with Cathay Innovation — the venture sub of Paris-based private equity firm Cathay Capital — to launch a new Africa tech fund with a target raise of $168 million.
Details are still forthcoming, but the Cathay Africinvest Innovation Fund will focus primarily on Series A to C-stage investments in African technology companies, says fund co-founder Denis Barrier.
“We’ll look at investments across several countries in Africa. We’ll focus on areas such as fintech, logistics, AI, agtech and edutech,” Barrier says.
