Our mission is to empower African entrepreneurs to shape the continent’s future. We believe that the key to Africa’s prosperity lies in the hands of its innovators and visionaries.
StartHub Africa’s ten-year target is to provide support to over 100 companies, each achieving an annual revenue of $200,000 USD. This target represents a remarkable tenfold increase in monthly revenue compared to when these companies first joined the StartHub Africa community. This ten-year agenda is a testament to our commitment to nurturing and empowering entrepreneurs across East Africa, propelling them toward financial success and sustainability.
StartHub Africa’s Agenda 2033 is a commitment to empower and elevate entrepreneurs across Africa. We are not only catalyzing economic growth but also aligning our efforts with the Sustainable Development Goals. Our journey towards 2033 is a testament to our unwavering dedication to creating a better, more prosperous, and sustainable future for the communities we serve.
StartHub Africa addresses Africa’s biggest investment gap: lack of investable startups. By sourcing talent from universities and ecosystems, we help founders launch in tech and manufacturing. With coaching, seed investment, and investor connections, we de-risk early-stage ventures and create a strong pipeline for angels and institutions, making African startups investment-ready.
Manufacturers encounter a multitude of challenges that can hinder their growth and success. These challenges include slow revenue growth, low sales and distribution, inadequate packaging, compliance gaps, and production challenges. Our manufacturing program tackles these challenges head-on, providing manufacturers with opportunities and leverage needed to grow.
As a hybrid social venture, StartHub Africa unites an NGO with SHA Consulting Group. Our consulting arm designs programs, delivers research, and guides organizations in sustainable development. Leveraging ecosystem expertise, we help partners achieve impact, scale innovations, and strengthen entrepreneurship ecosystems. Through collaboration, we maximize partner contributions while shaping Africa’s future through entrepreneurship.
