According to the Partech 2022 Africa venture capital report, the African tech ecosystem is booming, with funding for the industry rising to $6.5 billion last year from $6 billion in 2021.

The new fund seeks to be a "catalyst for driving long-term good change that the youth of Africa genuinely deserve, and to giving resources to the brightest of them, while speeding the future of the African continent," according to Dina Al Shenoufy, general partner at ASF.

"The project is meant to offer entrepreneurs with the resources that they need to be able to grow and to scale up their firms to new heights."
