Investing in tech startups in Africa is a long-term game, with returns typically expected within seven to ten years. There are three main ways to make money when investing in tech startups: through secondary sales, mergers and acquisitions, and initial public offerings (IPOs). Secondary sales involve selling equity to a bigger investor at a higher valuation. Mergers and acquisitions allow bigger organizations to acquire smaller companies to gain market presence. IPOs can be challenging, especially without a strong customer base and when hedge fund traders bet against the stock. Despite not yet seeing returns, the African tech startup market shows promising growth.
