Breaking Barriers, Building the #Future 🚀 At Sabi, we know that success isn’t about fitting into outdated molds—it’s about reshaping industries and creating real impact. As one of the few female-led startups in #Africa to receive venture funding, we recognize the challenges that persist but also the opportunities that come with resilience, innovation, and a strong network of supporters. A recent TechCabal piece highlighted the stark funding gap for female founders—dropping from $192M in 2023 to just $48M in 2024. Yet, firms like Norrsken22 continue to bet on women-led businesses that are scaling, thriving, and proving that diversity drives success. A huge shoutout to Anu Adedoyin Adasolum, Sabi's CEO and co-founder for leading the charge, and to Lexi Novitske, CFA (General Partner, Norrsken22) and Precious John-Adeyemi (Investment Analyst, Norrsken22) for championing the need for more inclusive investment networks. At Sabi, we’re not just participating in #Africa’s growth story—we’re writing it. 📖✨ To the female founders, operators, and investors pushing boundaries every day: Keep going. Your vision matters. Your leadership matters. Your success will redefine the ecosystem.

At the recently concluded Investing in African Mining Indaba 2025, the Sabi team had the privilege of witnessing firsthand—and contributing to—powerful conversations with the key players shaping the future of #mining in #Africa. Africa sits on a goldmine of potential. As the world looks to the continent to secure critical minerals for the global transition to sustainable energy, African nations have a unique opportunity—not just to supply resources but to build stronger economies and position themselves as indispensable global players. However, challenges persist—from unethical labor practices to lack of #transparency and #traceability in supply chains. Addressing these issues is essential for Africa to maximize its potential in the mining and commodities sector. In a recent BusinessDay piece, Ademola Adesina, Sabi’s President and Co-founder, highlights these challenges and outlines actionable steps Africa must take to secure its place in the global critical minerals landscape. 📖 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dTCZKdAk #MiningIndaba2025 #AfricaMining #CriticalMinerals #SustainableEnergy #SupplyChainTransparency #Sabi #MiningIndaba #Africa
