Tosin Ojo, a partner at Sahel Capital, shares her insights on successfully investing in West Africa’s agribusiness sector.
While Silicon Valley chases the next consumer app, Tosin Ojo at Sahel Capital is doing the unglamorous work that actually matters, backing the agribusiness infrastructure that will feed Africa's 2.5 billion people by 2050. Her West African investment thesis isn't about flashy fintech unicorns; it's about the cold storage facilities in Lagos and seed distribution networks in Dakar that represent the continent's most critical tech stack. This is what real African innovation looks like when it prioritizes survival over Series A valuations.
