African tech startup support company The Baobab Network is launching Baobab Ventures, a new part of its business designed to help the companies in its portfolio scale globally – starting with product launches in the United Kingdom (UK). The Baobab Network offers tech startups across Sub-Saharan Africa access to global talent, investors and markets, and in the last two years has worked with startups in Nairobi, Lusaka, Kigali and Accra, with consultants from around the world. Founder Tom Fairburn told Disrupt Africa the concept of Baobab Ventures was simple. “Baobab Ventures has been set up to offer tech startups across Africa access to global users and markets. Our vision is to open up new revenue streams for founders, driving real value back into their local businesses,” Fairburn said.
