Episode 54 of the BIG5D Podcast again turns to the recent BigFive Summit in Cape Town for source material.

This episode features a panel discussion of the kinds of support, in addition to capital, that African startups need to be successful -- things like best practice sharing and mentorship, among others. Sharing their views are Lucie Fink, CEO of Thinkroom Consulting; Egla Ntumba of MsFit Ventures, and Thapelo Ntite, Co-founder of Botlhale AI. This discussion originally took place on stage on 8 May at Innovation City Cape Town.

Episode 54 of the BIG5D Podcast is supported by The 2025 BigFive Summit Sponsors.

The Summit's sponsors were led by Premium Sponsor Absa Group and also included Dialog, NSPYRE, Networds, AfriGIS, and Pragmattica Digital Consulting.
