Decode Fintech Community Roundtable

Fintech in Africa is evolving quickly. Over two years, we've tracked these changes (shared every Wednesday at 10 am WAT) in the Decode Fintech newsletter. As we celebrate our 100th issue, you're invited to the first-ever Decode Fintech Community Roundtable! 🎉

This is a chance to put faces to names, share notes, and learn how friends and peers within African fintech are figuring things out.

Here's what to expect

This hour-long virtual event will begin with a short intro to the Decode Fintech team, after which we'll dive right into a moderated community conversation covering three key areas:

• Talent and Recruitment
• Fundraising
• Scaling and Expansion

Where are others finding talent? What do peers wish they had known before expanding outside their home turf? What's the ground truth of the fundraising market these days? Come learn the answers to these questions and lots more from operators on the frontlines.

It's important to mention: this isn't a panel (the kind where someone monologues for 30 minutes followed by Q&A 😄) So please come prepared to engage, share examples, ask questions, offer help, and generally spend a chill Friday evening meeting other members of the DF community. (In an ideal world, we would have had this conversation over pizza in someone's apartment, but COVID had other plans, so we're looking to pull off the next-best thing ✊🏿🍕)

Other things to note:

• We'll share a summary of the high level insights of the conversation after the event, but they won't be a replay video! Please be sure to attend to get the full experience of the roundtable.
• Participants will be private by default. Other people on the call will not see your name on the participants list, and if you write to the chat, they will only see your first name.

Looking forward to meeting you!
