What are the lessons learned from the nascent European and Indian VC ecosystems respectively 30 and 10 years ago? How did regional VC formation shaped up during downturns vs. international VCs? What can leading public institutions such as the IFC - International Finance Corporation and forward-looking governments such as Rwanda Development Board (RDB) do to sustain the new African VC asset class?

P1 Ventures was grateful to host and mediate an engaging conversation in Kigali last week with Tesi Rusagara, Shruti Chandrasekhar and Bernard Dalle. Thank you for the insightful and inspiring thought partnership!
