Creative Cash Flow: Mastering Money, Business and Growth in the African Creative Economy

Institutions have committed billions of dollars to Africa's creative sector. Entrepreneurs across the continent have built real, profitable companies. And yet, the two sides struggle to find each other. A large part of the reason is that creative founders are not equipped to present their businesses in the language investors use.

Creative Cash Flow is a practical guide to revenue models, cash management, intellectual property, and raising the right kind of capital, written for founders and operators in media, music, film, fashion, design, gaming and the wider creative economy. It draws on twenty years of building creative businesses and six years of advising the institutions that finance them.

For Institutions
