Huge congratulations to @CascadorNigeria and @Sterling_Bankng on the launch of their $200 million SME Credit Backstop Fund! 👏🏾 Cascador's latest whitepaper outlines the ecosystem's need for tailored debt financing: only 22% of businesses in Africa have a bank loan or line of credit, compared with the 36% global average. The Fund was launched to help fill this gap, creating new pathways for debt-ready Nigerian SMEs to access larger, longer-term loans, with reduced collateral requirements and a platform designed to support up to $1 billion in outstanding credit capacity. By bringing together financial infrastructure, risk-sharing mechanisms, and a deep understanding of scaling businesses' needs, this initiative is an important step toward unlocking the capital ambitious founders need to grow. To better understand how the fund works, listen to Cascador's CEO Trish Thomas discuss it in great detail on @cnbcafrica : cnbcafrica.com/media/7792072… Download the whitepaper: cascador.org/multiply/

Strong media relationships are built on more than a single interview or moment in the spotlight. In this clip from our #WimbartJournoSeries conversation with @inivictoria , Deputy Editor & Head of Business Desk at @channelstv , she unpacked the frustrations journalists face when founders engage only when they need publicity, but may not be available when journalists need their support in return. A key reminder: building strong media relationships takes mutual respect, reliability, and consistency. ​▶️ Press play to listen Read the full interview here: wimbart.com/media-spotlight/… #WimbartJournoSeries #AfricanTech #SpotlightSeries
