African startups secured $365 million in funding in June 2025, making it the continent’s strongest month this year and the best single-month performance in nearly a year, according to data from Africa: The Big Deal.
This impressive June showing pushed total funding for the first half of the year (H1 2025) to $1.35 billion, representing a 78% surge compared to the $800 million raised in the same period in 2024.
The H1 2025 total also nearly matches the $1.37 billion raised in the second half of 2024, reflecting a marginal 1.5% decline.
