Investing in Emerging Markets
Nicole Dunn and Brian Kearney, hosts of The Next Frontier Podcast, interview founders and investors in Africa, from Pre-Seed to Unicorn stage entrepreneurs, to angels and professional VCs. This podcast aims to shine a light on the dynamic startup ecosystem and bring equitable funding to entrepreneurs that are tackling the most difficult problems on Earth. Their goal is to shift the narrative on startup investing in emerging markets and help grow the African yearly VC inflows to $20 billion.
