Mstudio, a venture studio based in Abidjan, is challenging the traditional approach to startup building in Francophone Africa. Instead of solely focusing on novel ideas, Mstudio is replicating successful business models from other regions, particularly Latin America and Southeast Asia, and adapting them to the unique needs and opportunities of the Francophone African market.
This innovative approach aims to accelerate the growth of the Francophone African tech ecosystem, which has historically lagged behind its Anglophone counterparts in terms of startup funding and development. By leveraging proven models and providing comprehensive support, Mstudio empowers entrepreneurs to build sustainable and scalable businesses.
Mstudio focuses on addressing the needs of underserved populations, particularly within the informal sector, which constitutes a significant portion of the African economy. The studio prioritizes solutions that improve access to essential services, such as financial inclusion, healthcare, and education, for underserved communities.
By replicating successful business models and providing tailored support to its portfolio companies, Mstudio is poised to play a crucial role in driving innovation and fostering economic growth across the Francophone African region.
