Monthly Round-up – November 2024

November was a busy month at Chapter 54, with the team hard at work on a variety of exciting projects—and, as always, we didn’t stay in one place. Let’s take a look!

💬Vincent Previ, Managing Director at Chapter54, participated as a guest speaker at BIG by BPI in October. He joined Élisabeth Moreno, ex-French minister and Chairwoman of Ring Capital, and Yassine Oussaifi, Partner at AfricInvest, for a panel discussion on the immense potential of African tech and its growing business appeal to French investors and entrepreneurs. We’re already looking forward to returning next year! Watch the roundtable discussion here.

💬Vincent also sat down with Uncovered Fund for a webinar interview, entitled ‘Europe to Africa and beyond’. In the episode, he discussed Chapter54’s work, as well as successful case studies and investment opportunities in sectors like fintech, health, agribusiness, and clean tech. Check it out here.

📚BUKU, one of our current Chapter54 Scaleups, has been very busy this past month! Following our recent trip to Senegal with CEO Jeff van der Laan and COO Wout Dingenouts, BUKU also came to Paris to to on-board even more publishers. Check out the highlights of their Senegal trip here.

🔊 This past month, we welcomed a new perk provider for Scaleups in the Chapter54 program: Talking Drum Communications. Specialized in helping organizations craft and share impactful stories to drive accelerated growth, profitability, and sustained success, they’ve worked with major African tech companies such as Vendease, Nomba, Autochek, and more. All Chapter54 Scaleups can access their PR and communications support at a reduced rate.
