State of Tech in Africa began in 2022, born from the vision of Israel Ogunseye and supported by a talented network of young minds passionate about Africa’s digital future. Frustrated by paywalled reports and fragmented information, Israel and his team set out to build a freely accessible resource that champions the growth of African tech through open, reliable, and actionable data. Our mission is clear: to support the continent’s tech ecosystem with insights and research that anyone can access, empowering innovators, entrepreneurs, and policymakers alike. This is a not-for-profit endeavor, driven by collaboration and the belief that transparency and shared knowledge fuel real progress. As we continue our journey, donations and support from the community are not only appreciated—they are essential. With every contribution, you help us keep data unrestricted and the ecosystem thriving, so Africa’s technology story can be written by all.
