The author 🧑🏽‍🦱

Hi there, nice to e-meet you!

I am Yannick Deza, a Data Scientist passionate about tech markets, global development, and the philosophy of progress.

After working +2 years in tech in Paris as an Analyst, I decided to move to West Africa (Ghana) and pursue an alternative, more fulfilling path: uncovering the data behind the current African Renaissance.

Concretely, I am helping funds (like early-stage VC) gain exposure to the geography with tailor-made consulting and research, i.e.:

• Ecosystem mapping (i.e. funds competitive analysis);

• Sourcing and analyzing public datasets;

• Scouting companies (i.e. deal-flow);

• Strategy

I hope you enjoy the readings and remember:
