Partech Africa Report Shows Africa Tech Funding Rose to $4.1 Billion in 2025
- African tech funding climbed to $4.1 billion in 2025, marking a 25% year-over-year increase.
- Debt financing hit a record $1.64 billion, accounting for 41% of all capital deployed on the continent.
- Equity funding reached $2.4 billion, with Series A and B deal sizes growing by 21% and 12%, respectively.
The report's findings suggest a significant shift in the African tech landscape, moving away from a reliance on equity funding towards a more balanced approach that includes debt financing. This could indicate a more sustainable growth model for the region, but it also raises questions about the long-term viability of early-stage investments as the market matures.
