We believe that Africa’s most pressing challenges can be solved by bold entrepreneurs, but great ideas need more than passion to succeed. They need structure, strategy, and the right networks.
Whether pre-revenue or already gaining traction, our program is designed to give ambitious founders everything they need to move from idea to scale. We focus primarily on B2B tech startups (though high-potential B2C ventures are welcome) across Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
What We Offer
Our venture support is practical, hands-on, and tailored to each founder’s needs. No one-size-fits-all training. Instead, we get into the trenches with startups to solve the challenges that matter.
Investment Support: We provide $1,000–$5,000 in initial investment and affordable loans up to $5,000 to help founders test and grow.
1:1 Coaching & Mentorship: Weekly sessions with expert venture associates who guide founders for up to two years. From growth strategy to operations, compliance, and hiring, we cover it all.
Product Development Support: Helping founders refine their products through prototyping, validation, and market testing.
Investor Connections: When startups are ready, we connect them to angel and early-stage investors through our extensive network.
Regional Expansion: We open pathways for startups to scale across Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
In short, we become the part-time co-founders every early-stage founder wishes they had, tackling everything outside the day-to-day hustle so they can focus on building their vision.
Who We Work With
We back ambitious founding teams with strong technical expertise and sales or marketing skills. Traction is valuable but not a requirement; what matters most is insight, resilience, and the determination to build something scalable.
