Open Startup, a non-profit organization committed to nurturing innovation and entrepreneurial skills, has announced the launch of the second edition of its GROW program, a comprehensive initiative designed to propel promising African startups towards expansion and facilitate their access to capital.
As an entity that champions entrepreneurship, education, and intercultural dialogue, Open Startup is at the forefront of creating opportunities for startups to thrive. The GROW program, with a duration of 12 months, is specifically crafted for African startups that have already secured up to US$350,000 in funding and are on the path to reaching their first US$1 million milestone. The program is the result of a collaborative effort with key partners including AfricaGrow, Africinvest Group, BPI France, and Go Ventures, ensuring a robust framework for participants.
The program provides an array of resources and support services that are essential for startups looking to penetrate new markets and accelerate their growth trajectories. With the inaugural cohort’s success, where 13 startups were chosen from a pool of over 600 applicants, GROW is set to continue its impactful journey of empowering African startups to scale their operations and navigate the complex landscape of fundraising.
Applications are open here until August 31.
