The research has been launched in collaboration with local ecosystem partners and research partner Startup Snapshot, Flourish is surveying VC-backed founders in Egypt, Kenya, and Nigeria. It seeks to uncover the unique challenges African tech founders face and raise awareness and support for their needs.

“They’re going after the impossible. Almost all venture-backed African tech founders are dealing with high stress levels and the potential for burnout, especially given the dramatic economic downturns taking place,” said Efayomi Carr, Flourish investment principal.

“It’s time to gather primary research on what’s impacting founders most so that investors and ecosystem partners can provide better support and more resources during entrepreneurial journeys.”
