We believe founders who can turn Africa’s biggest challenges into global businesses come in a variety of backgrounds, abilities, languages, genders, ages, ethnicities, and more. This is why 40% of founders we have worked with are women, range in age from their 20’s to their 60’s, and come from and work in over 10 African countries.
The founders we back have some consistent features
- Passionate about solving a real problem and have the track record or traction to prove it
- Deep understanding of their customers and consider it their life’s work to serve them
- Lived experience of the problem, driving them to build a business that seems impossible until it’s done
Check out the RFS page on our website to learn more about the themes we’re focusing on for the second cohort of Accelerate Africa.
