This session explores how strong governance practices can be a game-changer for African tech startups seeking investment. You'll learn about four key areas that form the foundation of good governance: financial controls, board structure, strategic planning, and legal compliance. We'll delve into why each area matters and how weaknesses can hinder your ability to attract investors. The session also explores additional areas of good governance that enhance investor confidence, such as risk management, data protection, and ESG practices. We'll discuss a major challenge for African startups - lack of exits - and how good governance can address this by improving operational efficiency, reputation, and facilitating mergers and acquisitions. Whether you're a startup founder or simply looking to strengthen your investment potential, this session will equip you with the knowledge and tools to build a well-governed company that investors will love.
