Recent Addis Ababa rounds shown span from 2021-09-20 (ConDigital, Pre-Seed, $100K) to 2026-02-02 (Gebeya, Series Unknown, $250K). The largest disclosed amount is Gebeya’s $250K on 2026-02-02, which is the only disclosed round above $100K in this set; the next-largest disclosed figures are $100K (Chapa on 2024-10-16; ConDigital on 2021-09-20). Sector and stage signals cluster more than the dates: two entries are “Commerce and Shopping” (Gebeya in 2026 and Shemach in 2022), while four of five companies have “Series Unknown” or “Pre-Seed.” Undisclosed funding also creates a data gap: Wetruck AI (Transportation) is “undisclosed” on 2025-06-09, leaving three disclosed rounds with clear dollar amounts ($250K, $100K, $50K, $100K).

Frequently asked
What stands out in round size for the most recent Addis Ababa entries, and how does it compare to the rest?
Gebeya’s $250K on 2026-02-02 is the largest disclosed round in this 5-row set, with all other disclosed amounts at $100K or below (Chapa at $100K on 2024-10-16; Shemach at $50K on 2022-09-22; ConDigital at $100K on 2021-09-20). Wetruck AI on 2025-06-09 is listed as “undisclosed,” so its size can’t be compared against the disclosed range.
Do the dates form a tight cluster, or are they spread across multiple years?
They span multiple years rather than clustering tightly: the oldest disclosed round date shown is 2021-09-20 (ConDigital, $100K) and the most recent is 2026-02-02 (Gebeya, $250K). The mid-period includes Wetruck AI on 2025-06-09 (undisclosed) and Chapa on 2024-10-16 ($100K), but there’s no continuous run of back-to-back rounds.
Which sectors are over-represented in this slice of Addis Ababa-funded startups?
“Commerce and Shopping” appears twice: Gebeya (2026-02-02, $250K) and Shemach (2022-09-22, $50K). The remaining sectors are singletons in this view: Transportation (Wetruck AI, 2025-06-09, undisclosed), Financial Services (Chapa, 2024-10-16, $100K), and Other (ConDigital, 2021-09-20, $100K).
How does the stage mix look across the 5 most recent rows?
Stage labels are concentrated in two buckets: “Series Unknown” covers 2 entries (Gebeya on 2026-02-02 at $250K; Wetruck AI on 2025-06-09 at “undisclosed”), while “Pre-Seed” also covers 2 entries (Shemach on 2022-09-22 at $50K; ConDigital on 2021-09-20 at $100K). One remaining row is also “Series Unknown” (Chapa on 2024-10-16 at $100K), making “Series Unknown” 3 of 5 and “Pre-Seed” 2 of 5.
Are there outliers worth focusing on beyond just headline dollar amounts?
The clearest outlier is funding disclosure rather than size: Wetruck AI (Transportation) is “undisclosed” on 2025-06-09, which breaks the otherwise disclosed set of amounts ($250K, $100K, $50K, $100K). On size within disclosed rounds, Shemach at $50K on 2022-09-22 is the low end relative to Gebeya’s $250K.
