The team, led by Lyndsay Holley Handler, who has over two decades of experience in leadership, operations, and startup growth across 15 African countries, is well-equipped to navigate challenges and excel in Africa’s burgeoning tech industry. Through Delta40, Holley Handler intends to utilize her knowledge to assist other entrepreneurs in scaling their ventures with organic growth or strategic corporate partnerships and acquisitions. Factor[e] Ventures, a group of venture builders and pre-seed investors, provides support to Delta40, collaborating on various aspects such as sourcing founders, developing theses, brokering technology, and providing post-investment support to portfolio companies as they grow. Delta40 aims to capitalize on the increasing momentum of the African tech startup scene, which recorded a total funding of US$6.5B in a record year, showing an 8% YoY growth. However, there is still a significant lack of investment in diverse founders and crucial sectors such as energy, agriculture, and mobility. This gap in investment creates a favorable environment for investment that is further boosted by the abundance of untapped tech talent resources, a regulatory environment that is increasingly welcoming, and exponential population growth. Delta40’s approach to addressing this gap is unique and innovative. Quotes Delta40 Co-Founder and Managing Partner Lyndsay Holley Handler said: “By 2100, 40% of the world’s population will live in Africa. This presents an incredible opportunity – and imperative – to invest in entrepreneurs on the ground developing life-changing climate innovations. We are launching the Delta40 Venture Studio to connect African and female founders with the technology, talent, capital, and leadership support they need to build successful companies and thrive. Together with our founders, we aim to build a portfolio of transformative ventures across this important continent that improve lives, amplify the entrepreneurial ecosystem and protect the planet for generations to come.”
