Accelerate Africa has successfully completed three previous cohorts, supporting 30 innovative startups across the continent. The programme is designed to help founders leverage the power of peer networks and ecosystem connections to put their businesses on a clear trajectory toward achieving US$1 million in annual revenue within 18 to 24 months.
What makes Accelerate Africa unique is its commitment to practical, experience-driven learning. The insights shared throughout the programme come from entrepreneurs who have built, scaled, stumbled, and exited businesses in Africa. This real-world perspective ensures that participants gain actionable strategies rather than abstract theory.
The organisers emphasize:
Our mentors don’t just teach from slides—they share the scars and stories from their own journeys of building and scaling companies in Africa. Beyond advice, they provide access to valuable networks, customer introductions, and hands-on guidance that founders can implement immediately.
Applications are open here until January 31.
