Many businesses need investment to grow, and the United States is home to the deepest pools of capital in the world. Positive trends like economic growth, a growing middle class, urbanization, and a young and dynamic population are spurring entrepreneurs and companies across the African continent to create new products and services. Investors in the U.S. are seizing the opportunity to invest in these innovative startups as well as other successful companies that are expanding their businesses.
