AFSIC African Investments Dashboard

If you are attending AFSIC (physically or as a virtual delegate) to raise capital there are many options to consider to boost your chances of meeting the right investors and secure the funding you require. Our suggestions, and further instructions on how to do each, are:

ACTIONS PRIOR TO AFSIC

• Advise our team by email at investments@africaninvestments.co that you would like to raise funding at AFSIC, we can then track to ensure that you submit all required documents in good time. If you do not advise us we will assume you are not looking to raise money at AFSIC (you may be an investor for instance).
• Add your investment opportunity to the AFSIC African Investments Dashboard. Note your investment opportunity will then be accessible to a wide range of institutional investors. Instructions on how to do this are provided below. Before using please refer to our Disclaimer, Privacy Policy and User Agreement.
• One month prior to AFSIC we send a Preliminary Deal Book containing investment opportunities being profiled at AFSIC to all attendees. A Final Deal Book is then sent one week prior to the event. Instructions on how to be included are provided below. Please note the strict Deadlines on when submissions must be made by in the Detailed Instructions section below.
• If you would like to pitch your investment opportunity at AFSIC please make a Speaker Submission. The earlier you do this the better as our slots fill up quickly. This option is not available for Virtual Delegates who should rather follow our instructions below re promotion on Social Media.
• One month prior to AFSIC we open the AFSIC Event and Meeting App, to use your time effectively at AFSIC use this to pre-book as many meetings with investors as possible. Make sure to swap cell numbers as often in the heat of the event it is difficult to coordinate meeting locations.

ACTIONS DURING AFSIC

• Use the AFSIC Event and Meeting App to book as many meetings with investors as possible. Make sure to swap cell numbers as often in the heat of the event it is difficult to coordinate meeting locations.
• Review the AFSIC Agenda and attend sessions that are relevant to your business sector. After the session meet the speakers/participants who may be of use to you.
• Attend the multiple  Meet The Investor sessions we hold within AFSIC. These are free flowing networking sessions, allowing you to meet many African investors in a short period of time. This option is not relevant for virtual delegates.
