What you likely need
You're at a natural inflection point post-Paystack exit where the right rooms can accelerate your transition from operator to investor or repeat founder. Events that connect you with African fintech deal flow, Stripe alumni co-investors, and AI/ML builders will sharpen your positioning and formalize your angel activity into something institutional. The highest-leverage gatherings for you are small, high-trust dinners where your Paystack credibility opens doors and your operator depth closes them.
