Accelerate Africa Secures $100K Funding for 10 Promising African Startups

Accelerate Africa is excited to announce that we have successfully raised $100,000 in funding to further our mission of empowering Africa's most promising startups. For over a decade, we have been at the forefront of startup acceleration in Africa, collaborating with some of the world's leading investors, corporates, and experienced founders. Our unique coaching program is designed for 10 selected African startups, providing them with hands-on mentorship over an intensive eight-week period, culminating in a high-stakes demo day where they present their innovative ideas to a panel of elite investors. The funding will be directed toward enhancing our coaching resources, expanding our network of industry experts, and providing these startups with the tools they need to tackle some of Africa's most pressing challenges. Our founders, Iyinoluwa Aboyeji and Mia von Koschitzky-Kimani, have a wealth of experience in building and advising African companies, with a proven track record that includes successful ventures like Daystar Power, Andela, and Flutterwave. This funding not only bolsters our commitment to nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs but also reinforces our belief that Africa is ripe with opportunities waiting to be harnessed. We invite everyone to follow our journey and to learn more about the transformative work we're doing at www.acceler8.africa. Together, we can build a stronger, more dynamic future for Africa's startup ecosystem!
