In this episode of The AVCA Podcast, we are joined by Brian Waswani Odhiambo, Partner at Novastar Ventures, and Ross Strike, Head of M&A and Investor Relations at Nigeria-based fintech Moniepoint, for a conversation about building category-defining companies in Africa.

The discussion explores what it takes to create lasting value for everyday consumers and examines what lies ahead for both organisations over the next decade. Brian reflects on Novastar's impact as the venture capital firm marks 10 years of backing bold entrepreneurs in Africa, while Ross brings a unique perspective from his journey transitioning from institutional investor to operator.

Brian and Ross unpack the realities of scaling innovative businesses in African markets, the evolution of the venture capital landscape, and the opportunities that lie ahead for visionary founders solving the continent's biggest challenges.
