What Tage’s TechCrunch exit tells us about the industry
- Tage Kene-Okafor resigned from TechCrunch after a five-year tenure.
- Terra Industries announced an $11.75 million seed raise.
- African startups raised over $4 billion in 2021 and 2022, but only about $3 billion in the current year.
The trend of high-profile exits from international media raises concerns about the future of African tech coverage. While local media may fill the gap, the need for global attention remains critical for the growth of African startups. A balanced approach that values both local and international media could enhance the visibility and support for African innovation.
