Africa's Social Impact Technology Accelerator
We're not like other accelerators
We believe extraordinary founders deserve more than one-size-fits-all accelerator programmes. That’s why we create a unique, tailor-made accelerator for every start-up we work with.
Every start-up is different, so we treat them that way
Bespoke
We build a unique, tailor-made accelerator for every start-up we work with.
Focused
No distractions, just a laser focus on what must be achieved to drive growth.
Collaborative
Fuelled by the strength of our corporate and ecosystem partners.
