In 1 hour TOP time, learn the basics of investing in a start-up with Hervé Toha, expert in corporate finance in France and French-speaking Africa.

Investing in French-speaking Africa is a unique opportunity to diversify your portfolio and contribute to the continent’s economic dynamism.
However, the varied and complex legal landscape can turn this adventure into a real headache.
If you are aware of the opportunities, but also of the risks :
>> linked to ignorance of local legal specificities;
>> poorly structured investment agreements ;
>> unanticipated tax and regulatory implications;
>> with significant financial and operational consequences for your investments…
Then our training course is for you…

Who should attend?

Our program is aimed at all potential investors, whether novice or experienced, wishing to explore the opportunities offered by startups :

  • Entrepreneurs looking to invest in the startup ecosystem;
  • Incubators wishing to familiarize themselves with and understand the steps involved in investing in a startup;

You could embark on endless Internet searches… However

There remains a huge PROBLEM...

Where to find information transparently? It’s hard to find practical advice online on the steps and tools involved in investing in startups… And above all, to know what works today, rather than what has worked in the past. The lack of precise information raises further questions:

  • What contracts are signed as part of an investment?
  • How do you create a legal data room?
  • What are the key clauses of the term sheet and shareholders’ agreement?
  • What regulatory elements do I need to pay attention to?
  • How can investors continue to educate themselves and stay abreast of trends in startup investing?

So many questions that you end up giving up… To give you all the right answers, we’ve put together this online training course :

During my career, I’ve worked with some of the most prestigious investment funds on transactions in French-speaking Africa. Do you know Actis, Améthis, Wendel, DPI and Helios?
