Africa's startup funding scene maintained its measured rebound in October 2025, continuing the steady rhythm that has defined much of the year.
Across the continent, disclosed funding totaled roughly USD 364.9 M across 31 deals , a year-on-year increase from USD 217 M in October 2024 and a sharp rise from USD 76.6 M in 2023, according to the WT dataset.
That's more than double September's USD 163.4 M , with deal volume holding steady. The data signals a market that's no longer chasing quantity but still finding occasions for very large checks.
