Key people at Dakar Network Angels.
Dakar Network Angels (DNA) is an angel investment network focused on early-stage and seed investments within Francophone Africa. It provides a structured platform for angel investors to strategically deploy capital and expertise into scalable companies, supporting the burgeoning tech ecosystem by identifying promising ventures.
Established in 2018, DNA was founded on the insight that Francophone Africa critically lacked organized early-stage capital and mentorship. While specific founders are not widely publicized, the network's formation initiated a new era for regional angel investment. Its first public investment occurred in early 2019.
DNA serves its network of angel investors and the startup community across Francophone Africa, offering opportunities for learning, co-investment, and networking. The organization’s vision is to cultivate and strengthen the African tech ecosystem by empowering founders and investors, driving innovation and sustainable economic development.
