How the company operates and delivers value. Assigned by the company owner or our research team.
High-level technology classifications — distinct from specific tools in Tech Stack. Represents what a company is built on, not just what it uses.
Technology classifications
Used for high-level company capability and sector analysis.
How the company earns revenue. A company can have multiple income streams.
All valid values for stage, team size, and client focus used across the platform.
Signals that indicate the trustworthiness and completeness of a company record.
African Tech Map data is sourced from company self-submissions, partner organisations, and our research team's ongoing curation. New company records are reviewed before publication. Existing records are periodically reverified — the Last Verified date on a profile indicates when data was last confirmed. We prioritise depth over breadth: a smaller number of high-quality, complete records is more useful than a large set of stubs.
