Where African startups find programmes, mentors and investors
A long-running platform connecting entrepreneurs in Africa and other emerging markets to accelerators, funding calls, mentors and investors, with a public venture profile you keep updated.
Use when
You are applying to African accelerators or funds and want one maintained profile instead of retyping the same details into every form.
Skip when
You want direct warm introductions to specific investors - this is a discovery and application layer, not a brokered intro.
Operating since 2007, with more than 29,000 ventures registered and Nigeria and Kenya the largest cohorts. Most accelerator and fund applications on the continent are hosted here, so a maintained VC4A profile doubles as your application form for many programmes. Free to create a venture profile.
