×Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qoA105xnIpU Khaman Maluach was just drafted 10th overall in the NBA Draft. He’s a South Sudanese refugee who grew up in Uganda and only started playing basketball when he was 13 years old. After first playing the game at Luol Deng’s basketball camp, Maluach played at the NBA Academy in Senegal, and played three seasons in NBA Africa’s Basketball Africa League, before signing with Duke University. He’s the first player from the BAL to be drafted into the NBA. And as we continue to invest in talent on the African continent, there will be more players like Khaman Maluach playing in the league in the future.

Watch this episode on YouTube . 2025 is the year of stablecoins. Transaction volumes have grown to over $33 trillion in the past 12 months. The top Dollar-denominated stablecoins are the 17th largest holder of US treasuries globally. Tether, issuer the largest stablecoin by volume, USDT, announced $13 billion in net profit in 2024. Circle, the USDC issuer, is going public. But what got the hype train going was Stripe’s acquisition of the startup Bridge for $1.1 billion.

This is the first episode in The Flip’s new human-first series on stablecoin adoption from the rest of the world.

There are 1,696 active players in the NFL. Just 138 are African. But if it were up to Osi Umenyiora, 11-year veteran and 2-time Super Bowl Champion, there would be many more. Osi is the Founder of The Uprise, the NFL's lead in Africa, and he's pioneering American football on the African continent. At the NFL's camp in Lagos, Nigeria, young athletes are vying for a shot to join the NFL Academy in London or to go straight to the League through the International Player Pathway Program. But many of them have never played American football before. So why is the NFL hosting camps in Africa? Is there really any shot of these players making it to the NFL? 00:00 - The NFL is in Lagos, Nigeria 00:30 - Osi Umenyiora is bringing football to Africa 02:05 - The NFL wants the best talent in the world 03:55 - Creating opportunities for African talent Our Links - 🎥 YouTube - https://youtube.com/@TheFlipAfrica 💻 Website - https://theflip.africa 🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/theflipafrica 👥 LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/theflipafrica/ 📸 Instagram - https://instagram.com/theflipafrica…
Farming is the number one source of employment in Africa, yet its agricultural productivity is the lowest of any region in the world. The opportunity is immense—60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land is on the continent—but rural communities are suffering from a lack of economic opportunity. So young Africans are building innovative solutions to tackle the problems that are impacting their families and communities.

Reports suggest that climate change is set to cost the global economy $38 billion per year by 2049. Emerging markets need close to $2.4 trillion per year by 2030 to meet the climate goals. That's 4 times what is currently invested. But high capital costs are stalling clean energy investment across Africa. If you want to build a renewable energy project in Sub-Saharan Africa, the weighted average cost of capital would be up to 4x as much as the same project in Western Europe or the US, due to the real and perceived risks of investing on the continent. If the world invests in renewables and green technology in Africa at Africa's cost of capital, it will underinvest in green energy assets. 00:00 - The climate funding gap 01:01 - It's 4x more expensive to build an energy project in Africa 02:10 - The cheapest energy is where there is high energy density 03:26 - Startup financing needs 06:23 - Addressing funding challenges at the multinational level Check out more episodes of The Greenprint here .

Nigeria’s energy crisis has persisted for decades. Africa's largest country is largely powered by fuel generators. They're noisy, dirty, and bad for the environment. But they also provide power to millions of people in a country with an unreliable grid. The removal of Nigeria's long-standing fuel subsidy in 2023 caused the price of fuel to quadruple, leaving Nigerian consumers searching for options. And many are going solar. So while economic considerations have largely driven Nigeria's transition to solar power, it has positive climate implications too. But why is the grid so broken? How can it be fixed? And is decentralized solar energy an adequate solution to solve Nigeria's energy crisis? 00:00 - To know Nigeria is to know blackouts 01:28 - How Nigeria is powered today 02:11 - Why the grid is broken and how to fix it 05:17 - Nigerians are making the switch to solar 09:12 - The need for climate resilience Check out more episodes of The Greenprint: https://theflip.africa/the-greenprint This episode of The Greenprint was produced in partnership with Catalyst Fund, Delta40, and Africa Climate Ventures.

Can Africa be a leader in the global fight against climate change? While the continent has contributed just 3 percent to global carbon emissions, it is the most impacted by climate change. But it also has a range of natural endowments that leave it well-positioned to build green industries that will have a positive economic impact locally and can play a significant global role in getting to net zero. In this episode, we're joined by three Africa-focused climate founders solving local problems with global implications. 00:00 - Africa is the most impacted by climate change 01:18 - The opportunity to build industries powered by renewable energy 01:51 - Great Carbon Valley's Bilha Ndirangu 05:00 - Octavia Carbon's Duncan Kariuki 07:51 - Talus Renewable's Hiro Iwanaga Listen to more episodes of The Greenprint: https://theflip.africa/the-greenprint This episode of The Greenprint was produced in partnership with Catalyst Fund, Delta40, and Africa Climate Ventures.

These climate investors are funding climate startups using a hands-on venture-building model to support founders across Africa. In this episode, we’re joined by James Mwangi from Africa Climate Ventures, Maxime Bayen from Catalyst Fund, and Lyndsay Holley Handler from Delta40. We discuss why African ventures and climate startups, in particular, benefit from the venture building model; the limitations of the traditional two and twenty fund model in the African tech ecosystem; the types of founders and opportunities these investors are looking for; the pitch these investors are making to global investors for why they should back climate action across Africa; and, is Africa the most important region for global climate goals? 00:00 - Intro 01:20 - Why climate in Africa? 06:03 - The types of founders they're investing in 12:18 - Why the venture building model? 19:39 - Fund structures & models 35:30- The types of businesses & opportunities they're seeking 41:30 - Pitching Africa's climate story to global investors This roundtable conversation was recorded during the 2024 Climate Week in New York City.

There are millions of Moniepoint point-of-sale terminals in use across Nigeria. These point-of-sale devices power Nigeria’s offline economy, and while there are many competitors in this space, Moniepoint appears to beating them all. How did they do it?

Small retailers in Nigeria power the economy. But they’re going through some tough times. Devaluation, food inflation, and overall poor economic conditions have made it especially hard for these small businesses to operate. To better understand how retail works, and how these small businesses can grow, we hit the streets of Lagos with Deepankar Rustagi, CEO of OmniRetail.

In this episode, the third in our docuseries on jobtech platforms and the future of work, we dive deeper into the value chain, because the problems that small businesses have across the continent are multi-layered. In an environment of demand constraints and a lack of infrastructure, platforms need to solve multiple problems across the value chain. This is what makes jobtech platforms so hard to build in Africa. But for those who can solve problems across the value chain, it not only unlocks growth opportunities for their users, but it also unlocks additional revenue streams for platforms to achieve greater profitability. Check out the first two episodes in this series: What We Get Wrong About Jobs in Africa The Future of Work Will Be Bootstrapped 00:00 - Intro 01:43 - Jobtech platforms in Africa need to solve multiple problems across the value chain. 02:31 - One sector with challenges across the value chain is fashion. 03:51 - How Fitted is solving problems for tailors in Nigeria. 05:51 - Unlocking revenue opportunities for SMEs and platforms alike.
