Cross-Border Investing: The Most Active US-Based VCs in Africa

Africa’s evolution to cross-border investing has been interesting, but more so, challenging for Venture Capitalists. Traditionally, VCs pump money into businesses and geographies they understand, while tending to be skeptical about businesses in emerging markets. Concerns around regulatory risks, regional stability, market size, distance from their headquarters which increase oversight costs, all have at one point made it difficult to get U.S-based VCs on board.  A decade back, only a few for-profit early-stage investors were attracted to Africa,  with citations of  “a slim picking away from social investing.”  The playing field was therefore left to non-profits and social-focused investors. However, the arrival of specialized funds led by development finance institutions such as the International Finance Organization (IFC), Acumen, and Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), has slowly transformed early-stage company financing across the continent to include top-tier VC investors from the U.S. Similarly…

The pandemic was unprecedented when it showed up in February and March; the phases of its aftermath will also be without a reference point.

PYMNTS identified five areas and companies to watch as the post-pandemic recovery evolves. Amazon The balance of 2020 will be notable for what Amazon does not do. For instance, it will not buy JCPenney. The reason cuts right through Amazon's strikezone: The company has always been about the customer experience and customer satisfaction. JCP doesn't have much to offer Amazon in terms of customers. On the inventory side, Amazon has always taken one step up and two steps back on fashion, which is a tough margin to run on. In terms of real estate, JCP still has some decent mall locations, but not enough to justify what would be a very risky acquisition. If Amazon sees any M&A deals this year, it will likely be on the

By Shang-Jin Wei NEW YORK – After passing unanimously in the US Senate on May 20, 2020, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act is heading for the House of Representatives, and US President Donald Trump is expected to sign it into law. The law requires that all companies listed on US stock exchanges submit to audits reviewable by the US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), and non-compliant firms can be delisted after three years.
