Welcome to Launch Base Africa — Your Gateway to the Thriving World of African Tech Innovation!
The African tech startup ecosystem has matured. A decade ago, the scene was unfolding in fragments — founders were leaving well-paying, full-time jobs to return to Africa in droves. Today, billions are being raised by entrepreneurs in remote corners of Gauteng, Accra, Alexandria, Lagos, etc. Yet, alongside these successes, many startups are crumbling under the weight of a highly volatile economic climate.
Who is left to tell these stories? For years, coverage has been fragmented, with media outfits often blurring the lines between journalism, nationalism, and PR. Enter Launch Base Africa, a Nigeria-headquartered but Africa-focused platform at the forefront of the digital revolution. We are here to reshape the narrative — telling these stories as they’ve never been told before.
Our commitment lies in capturing the dynamism and cultural nuances of Africa’s vast tech ecosystem. With deep respect for innovation, entrepreneurship, and the unique contexts that shape them, we are working tirelessly to document and preserve these stories with clarity and integrity.
In-Depth, Complete, and Unparalleled Coverage
From the small teams of Algerian founders making their way to Beijing to the brown-hued Sèmè-One building in Cotonou, Benin, we have a sharp instinct for uncovering everything tech, innovation, startup, and entrepreneurship across Africa. Our keen eye for detail and depth ensures that no story goes untold.
Our news, articles, analyses, and reports go beyond the surface — dissecting, analyzing, and unpacking the full context and nuances of every story. We are not afraid to ask the hard questions, confront uncomfortable realities, and provide the global community with an unfiltered view of what’s truly happening in the African startup ecosystem.
At Launch Base Africa, we take pride in delivering the most comprehensive coverage of Africa’s tech and startup landscape. From the bustling hubs of the North to the innovation corridors of the Central and South, and the rapidly growing ecosystems in the West, we leave no stone unturned. If it’s happening in African tech, you’ll find it here first.
Sourced From and Presented in Multiple Languages
The search for a truly comprehensive platform that spans Africa’s major official languages is over. From the Arabic of the North to the French of the West and Central regions, and the English of the South and East — among others — we have a knack for uncovering everything tech, innovation, startup, and entrepreneurship, delivering it in a language you understand.
Gone are the days when the Francophone and Anglophone ecosystems operated in silos. If it’s not on Launch Base Africa, it’s not happening. Our mission is to bridge language barriers by providing content in multiple languages, ensuring accessibility for a wider audience. We are committed to fostering inclusivity and making sure that everyone, regardless of their language preference, can tap into our deep insights on Africa’s dynamic tech landscape.
Influencing and Shaping Change
We have held governments accountable, driving reforms in draconian tax regimes. At the same time, we have influenced investments in underserved ecosystems, amplifying the voices of founders in the most challenging environments. We have also pushed founders and investors to uphold transparency and responsibility. To us, that is what it truly means to capture the African story.
Our coverage and in-depth analysis go beyond merely reporting events — we aim to drive meaningful change. Launch Base Africa has played a pivotal role in shaping policies that directly impact the African tech landscape. By spotlighting critical issues and delivering sharp, insightful analysis, we strive to contribute to a regulatory environment that fosters innovation and entrepreneurship across the continent.
