Insights Straight from the Source.
Startup Researcher Africa is preparing a podcast built for people who make things happen. Short, useful, and grounded in reality. This is not a show about slogans. It is a place where founders, investors, operators, and ecosystem builders talk plainly about what worked, what failed, and what they learned. If you care about signal over noise, you are in the right place.


Here is what you can expect. Straight questions. Clear answers. When numbers matter, we say the numbers and where they come from. When outcomes are uncertain, we say that too. The goal is simple. Give you context that helps you move faster next week, not theory that collects dust.

The lens is Africa, viewed in a global context. Markets are connected. Capital, talent, and products cross borders. We will track those links without drifting into vague generalities. If a theme is forming, we will test it. If a story sounds too neat, we will look for the missing pieces. The point is to understand reality as it is, not as a press release frames it.

Formats will stay light so the content can breathe. Brief updates when the week is busy. Focused conversations when depth is required. Occasional spotlights on a company, a tactic, or a policy shift that changed the game. No filler. No forced banter. Just the parts that matter.

What shows up on this feed. How teams found customers and kept them. How distribution was unlocked in hard markets. What a policy did in practice, not just on paper. How capital was allocated and why timing mattered. The tradeoffs that get swept under the rug in victory laps. If it helps you build or invest better, it earns a place here. If it does not, it stays out.


Your attention is scarce. We will respect it. Short when short is enough. Deep when depth is useful. Honest all the time. That is the promise.
