TechCocoon · BrandSpot
Put your brand where
African tech pays attention.
BrandSpot is TechCocoon’s advertising product — display, native, podcast and newsletter placements that reach the founders, operators and investors who read us, listen to TechSide Daily, and follow the funding.
A focused, high-intent audience
Not a general feed. People building, funding and operating in African tech — the readers brands actually want.
Reach across every surface
Articles, the live Funding Tracker, the TechSide Daily podcast and our newsletters — one partner, many touchpoints.
Brand-safe and clearly labeled
Every BrandSpot is marked as sponsored and kept separate from our journalism. Good for you, honest for readers.

Editorial independence. BrandSpot placements are advertising. They’re always labeled as sponsored and never influence our reporting. TechCocoon’s journalism stays independent.
