The Global Entrepreneurship Network is partnering with VC4Africa and its Startup Africa Research team on its annual benchmark study on African venture performance.

The reliable data on performance of early-stage, high growth ventures in Africa is very scarce. The team’s ambition is to change the world’s perception of business in Africa by unlocking the quality information to the market.

The survey should only take 10 minutes, and the data remains anonymous. VC4Africa will share a final copy of the full report with all participants. 

The research focuses on growth, job creation, capital investments, revenue/profit generation, economic, social and environmental impact over time, and the contributing factors. The data will be compared across sectors, countries, stages of growth, among other categories.
