Agritech attracts strongest African angel investor interest despite funding decline
- Agriculture and agtech startups attracted the strongest interest from Africa’s angel networks in 2025.
- Agritech funding declined to $168.1 million in 2025, down from $206.9 million in 2024.
- Angel investors are increasingly cautious, with over 35% preferring startups that are already generating revenue.
The increasing interest in agriculture and agtech from angel investors is a positive sign for the sector's potential, but the decline in agritech funding raises concerns about the sustainability of this interest. Addressing the structural challenges and enhancing investor knowledge could help unlock further growth in angel investing across Africa.
