A&A Collective: Connecting the next generation of African investment talent

Small Foundation is excited to announce a new partnership with the A&A Collective, which aims to strengthen the A&A Collective’s support of the next generation of investment talent through a network approach.

With a membership of over 400, the A&A Collective provides a space for young professionals in the African investment sector to connect, learn from and inspire each other, both accelerating individual growth and career progression and boosting the sector as a whole.

Over the next year, our partnership will focus on strengthening the A&A Collective through a network approach, expanding its activities including industry deep dives, thematic working groups, industry placements, and networking opportunities. We believe this  will enable the A&A Collective to gather and share learnings and identify opportunities for collaboration across the African investment and tech landscape.

Reflecting on the partnership, co-founders Yvonne Okafor and Frances Tyner said, “We’re grateful to have a partner like Small Foundation that shares our beliefs in the foundational importance of networks as a tool for professional development. We look forward to supporting the next generation of talent investing into the African continent together, and providing opportunities for our community members to grow in their respective career paths within the ecosystem.”

Membership is open to early and mid-level professionals with experience in the investment space, with a clear dedication to contributing to the growth of the African tech and investment ecosystem. Apply for membership.
