BENEFITS

Why Accelerate?

This is not your typical accelerator

It could be easy to mistake Accelerate Africa for your typical one-size fits all accelerator program, but nothing could be more different.

Second - Our program is designed to meet your needs as a founder in Africa, whether it be workshops across our 5 core areas, coaching sessions from our top advisors, or tech, legal, and finance clinics support through our clinics and office hours. Build community with other founders in fireside chats, join in person for welcome week and again for the final week where we prepare you ahead of the demo day

Finally, unlike most accelerators, We do not offer funding or take equity upon admittance. Our fund Future Africa may invest alongside our other incredible investor network, to write you a pre-seed or seed stage check of $250,000 - $500,000 after the program, following our standard investment process including due diligence and an IC vote. There will also be a standard deal offered by Accelerate Africa, with no requirement to take it
