You will work closely with a group of star mentors who have themselves been accepted to and gone through a global accelerator. They will provide active guidance and soundboard your thoughts as you build out your application.
2. A curated community of leading applicants going through the process together
Building a startup can be isolating and challenging, but collaborating with other like minded people lessens this burden. This includes tapping into our local and global network that spans over 300 investors and over 100 startups to learn from and exchange knowledge.
3. Strategic investment from leading African VCs to further catalyse your journey
We will make strategic introductions and recommendations to our global network of co-investors.
