  • 3 tips to help startup founders decrease time spent fundraising

    BFA

    A web survey of over 60 startup founders in Africa in April 2021 found that close to two-thirds of founders spend at least three days per month on average fundraising. That amounts to close to two months spent each year, just on fundraising. Not building, not talking to customers; only pitching, talking to investors, working on pitch decks, building data rooms, and going through due diligence. Half this group (one-third of surveyed founders) actually spend five days or more a month on…

    A web survey of over 60 startup founders in Africa in April 2021 found that close to two-thirds of founders spend at least three days per month on average fundraising. That amounts to close to two months spent each year, just on fundraising. Not building, not talking to customers; only pitching, talking to investors, working on pitch decks, building data rooms, and going through due diligence. Half this group (one-third of surveyed founders) actually spend five days or more a month on fundraising activities, that’s close to 12 weeks or one-third of a year.

    GSMA

    Emerging market mobile operators and local start-ups can complement each other. As highlighted in a previous GSMA Ecosystem Accelerator report, mobile operators have reached the scale that start-ups lack, while start-ups are developing the local innovation mobile operators need. Collaboration between start-ups and mobile operators are on the rise in various markets.

    Emerging market mobile operators and local start-ups can complement each other. As highlighted in a previous GSMA Ecosystem Accelerator report, mobile operators have reached the scale that start-ups lack, while start-ups are developing the local innovation mobile operators need. Collaboration between start-ups and mobile operators are on the rise in various markets. Some of the most mature collaborations include Indosat Ooredoo and Wobe in Indonesia, MTN and Jumia across Sub-Saharan Africa, Safaricom and Eneza Education in Kenya, and Telenor and WowBox in Bangladesh. Each of these partnerships was forged by mobile operators and start-ups willing to leverage their respective strengths and find common ground.

    Our latest guide is aimed at start-ups interested in collaborating with mobile operators in emerging markets. The GSMA Ecosystem Accelerator programme and Match-Maker Ventures teamed up to produce this guide, which walks you through the process of securing a partnership with a mobile operator in your market and answers the questions that will arise along the way.

  • Corporate Venture Capital: An opportunity for mobile operators and start-ups in emerging markets

    GSMA & Delta Partners

    In Early October 2016, Safaricom announced the third investment of its corporate venture capital fund Spark. After Sendy and mSurvey, the Kenyan mobile operator invested in local ed-tech Eneza Education. On a different scale and in a different geography but with the same type of investment vehicle, a few weeks earlier Japanese mobile operator Softbank had led a round of $750 million investment into Southeast Asian ride-hailing app Grab.

    As activity around mobile operator corporate venture capital (CVC) is ramping up in emerging markets, the GSMA Ecosystem Accelerator programme together with advisory and investment company Delta Partners, have co-authored a report which examines the motivations for mobile operators to pursue start-up investments in emerging markets, the merits of CVC for mobile operators and the benefits this can bring to start-ups and local ecosystems.

  • Transforming Africa’s Digital Economy

    Delta Partners Group

    Only 20% of the African population is currently connected to the internet and connecting the remaining 900 million people clearly resonated during both the GSMA Mobile 360 Africa Series and AfricaCom 2014 conferences. Operators, so-called OTTs, governments and other TMD players have different rationales to pursue this common goal but the two events have highlighted this shared target along with the four enabling pillars to make digital inclusion a reality in Africa:

    Only 20% of the African population is currently connected to the internet and connecting the remaining 900 million people clearly resonated during both the GSMA Mobile 360 Africa Series and AfricaCom 2014 conferences. Operators, so-called OTTs, governments and other TMD players have different rationales to pursue this common goal but the two events have highlighted this shared target along with the four enabling pillars to make digital inclusion a reality in Africa:

    - Pushing for more affordable devices
    - Increasing efficiencies in infrastructure rollout
    - Choosing between monetizing data or content
    - Engaging governments and regulators

  • Shooting the (Instant) Messengers: Current size does not make you invincible

    Delta Partners Blog

    With over 20 mobile IM apps recording 10 million Monthly Active Users (MAU) and above, the market is getting intense and the proliferation of new IM apps is expected to continue. While the top 10 largest mobile operators worldwide took 20 years to reach 100 million subscribers, the 10 largest mobile IM apps needed only 5 years to achieve a comparable size. Yet, neither size nor valuation or even revenue are a promise of sustainability in this space.

  • The $30 smartphone: the true inflection point?

    Delta Partners Group

    One of the current key challenges for TMD players is to provide an internet access to the 2 billion people currently “un-connected”. While the cost of mobile communications keeps dropping on a quarterly basis, the unaffordability of smart devices is still a strong barrier and we believe a $30 smartphone could unlock this situation. This article will explain you why this is the case and how telecom operators can be instrumental in making this a reality.

  • Content providers and Telcos: from parasitism to symbiosis

    Delta Partners TMT Blog

    Radical changes are sometimes triggered by anecdotic events. The following could be one which holds major implications to the telecom industry. Last week, during a non-prime time interview on a second tier French TV channel, Stéphane Richard, the CEO of France Telecom, subtly mentioned that the traffic generated by Google, among other online content providers, was monetized by Orange and evidently by other carriers as well.

  • Fortune Favours the Informed - the African Paradox

    Delta Partners - Andrew Snead, Monica Moldovan and Maxime Bayen

    Africa is unquestionably a continent of opportunity – its sheer size, rapid • economic growth, expanding middle class and steadily improving governance indicators provide reason for optimism
    Many investors however have yet to subscribe to this ‘golden age’ notion. One plausible explanation for such a disconnect lies in the perception gap influencing investment in Africa

    Africa is unquestionably a continent of opportunity – its sheer size, rapid • economic growth, expanding middle class and steadily improving governance indicators provide reason for optimism
    Many investors however have yet to subscribe to this ‘golden age’ notion. One plausible explanation for such a disconnect lies in the perception gap influencing investment in Africa
    TMT (telecommunications, media and technology) lies at the very core of the African opportunity. Mobile services have material growth potential, underserved demand for Internet services is higher than in peer markets and the level of infrastructure-related investment amounted to more than $60 billion in the last five years
    The reality is there is significant investment opportunity in TMT emanating from prevailing market imbalances, attractive multiples relative to other emerging markets, deal fallouts, and the opportunity to exploit infrastructure sharing and ecosystem plays originating from the reluctance of operators and governments alike to adjust their business models
    This situation presents significant opportunity for knowledgeable investors who are able to get under the skin of the continent, disentangle the characteristics of the market and ultimately exploit the limited competition
