Convertible-grant acceleration for Ugandan businesses
A Uganda-based pre-accelerator and accelerator providing technical assistance and seed funding to established, revenue-generating local ventures.
Use when
Your Ugandan venture has real operations and revenue and you accept the convertible-grant/equity conditions.
Skip when
You are pre-revenue, unregistered, have only one participating founder, or want strictly non-dilutive funding.
Status (20 Aug 2026): the latest application windows shown on the official site are closed. Funding is a convertible grant, not a no-strings grant: programme terms give NSSF a right to exercise a 6% equity stake within three years, reducible under specified fundraising conditions. Accelerator applicants generally need a fully registered Ugandan business, two years of operations, at least UGX 20m revenue over the prior two years, two participating founders and completion of the pre-accelerator.
