More people are travelling to and within Africa — and they're spending. On accommodation, experiences, transport, and the services that make a trip memorable.

That demand is creating an urgent need for connected technologies that powers it all: booking platforms, property management systems, payment solutions, distribution tools. Across 10 priority markets offering average daily rates between $70 and $300, the infrastructure to serve this growth is still being built — which is exactly where the opportunity lives.

For travel tech startups, this isn't a crowded market to fight for scraps in. It's an expanding one, with real room to build, scale, and win.

What does it mean?

african startups build infrastructure for contexts global companies ignore.

And the ones that win don't do it alone. They find the right partners, open the right doors, and turn local insight into global momentum.

I help African Tech entrepreneurs looking to grow put the right partnerships in motion.

From building the right alliances all the way to a successful go-to-market — laying every foundation for scalable, sustainable growth.

My approach:

Own your narrative.
Outdated narratives have cost Africa too much for too long. The right story changes everything — especially when it comes to attracting the partners, buyers, and allies who will help you grow.
It's time to build yours. To articulate what you do well, what sets you apart, and how you intend to compete — deeply rooted in your strategy, your goals, and where you're headed. Your future buyers and best partners haven't found you yet. That starts with building trust and credibility — intentionally, consistently, over time.
Develop your partnerships strategy.
Great partnerships don't happen by accident — they're engineered. Together, we develop an honest roadmap for partnership development, tied directly to your business strategy, capabilities, and stage of growth.
This includes mapping the relevant ecosystem in your market, identifying the right profiles to target, and building a prioritised, actionable plan that turns partnership ambitions into a structured path forward.
Open the right doors.
Once we've mapped your ecosystem, I make warm, targeted introductions through my existing network across both private and public sectors. From governments and tourism boards to accelerators, tech founders, and global influencers — these are the people who can amplify your vision, accelerate your growth, and turn your solution into a movement.
Build partnerships that last.
Signing a deal is just the beginning. Sustainable growth comes from what happens after — internal alignment across all stakeholders, clear roles for every team member, and the operational readiness to deliver on every commitment you make.
We put in place the systems and processes to manage, nurture, and scale strategic partner relationships over time — moving beyond the contract stage into mature, win-win collaborations that become a real opportunity for your business.

Testimonials

"Eva was instrumental in building our partner ecosystem from the ground up, combining sharp strategic insight with a rare ability to understand stakeholder needs and create mutually beneficial partnerships. She led with integrity, earned trust through genuine connection, and consistently delivered meaningful results. Beyond execution, she strengthened our team by offering thoughtful, honest feedback and challenging us to pursue the right path, not the easiest one."

“As our first Head of Partnerships at UpMarket, Eva created the structure we didn’t have. She categorised every partner relationship, mapped the entire tech ecosystem and built a priorisation framework. She took over an exclusive deal with a major PMS to handle the contractual negotiations, launch GTM coordination and handled very delicate messaging with patience and precision. Eva is the person who turns partnerships into a real strategic engine! ”
