Today, we hosted a special Virtual Learning Lab session on "Due Diligence Readiness" for our GRV and LKR cohorts. We held an in-depth discussion of investors’ expectations during due diligence, preparing our founders to impress potential funders. Lots of great chats about what matters, red flags, and making smart calls. #entrepreneurship #climateaction #impactinvesting

It was truly delightful to have the Barka team join us to deepen their understanding of Gender Lens Investing, with Christ G. Lokonda clearly expressing how they plan to navigate power dynamics within their fund. We were pleased to have also connected with Rekia Foudel, Kehinde Aladekoye, CFA and Will Higgins, who further enriched the experience. #GenderLensInvesting #AfricaGrowthFund
