Condia connects ambitious founders, talents and investors to actionable insights on tech in Africa.
Every week we get tons of story ideas and pitches. While many are promising, not all align with our editorial focus.
If you want us to write about your company, product, founder or initiative, here is what the Condia editorial team likes to write about and how to pitch to them.
Types of stories we cover
Investigations
Do you know of something that doesn’t sit right? We’re all ears.
If you’re witnessing wrongdoing at a startup, like bullying, unfair hiring practices, or a toxic culture, or have a cautionary tale about untrustworthy investors or incompetent accelerators – we want to hear from you.
We’re a team of experienced journalists at Condia who value anonymity. Your identity will be completely protected (sources are never revealed). Contact us at team@thecondia.com or reach out directly to any of our reporters.
Features
Condia is interested in feature stories that delve deep into the world of African technology and innovation.
We’re particularly drawn to pieces that:
- Uncover hidden stories: We want to hear about the people, companies, or technologies that are shaping the future but often go unnoticed.
- Explore emerging trends: Are there new technologies, business models, or societal shifts that you see as groundbreaking?
- Provide in-depth analysis: We value insightful commentary and analysis on complex tech issues.
- Tell compelling human stories: Behind every great tech innovation is a human story. We’re interested in features that highlight the people driving change.
- Offer practical advice: Stories that provide actionable insights for our readers are highly valued.

News
What qualifies as news these days can seem fuzzy. We’d help clear that up. A product launch, a new hire or winning an award typically doesn’t qualify as news for us but an unusual business model or a new trend does. There’s more.
Here are the news stories Condia wants from you.
As a lean team, advanced notice is key to securing coverage for your announcement. We especially appreciate embargoed funding news and pre-arranged interviews for in-depth features. If you have exclusive news, even better.
Send your pitch to team@thecondia.com, all reporters/editors at Condia receive emails sent to this email address, so your pitch won’t get lost.
