In recent years, Tanzania's venture capital scene has been flourishing.

In just 2022, the East African country reached a significant milestone, raising $24 million across 6 deals, according to Magnitt, a Dubai-based VC data platform. 

Industries like FinTech, Agriculture, and E-commerce have been driving this growth with numerous successful funding rounds.
