    GrowthAfrica, a Kenya-based accelerator platform, has opened applications for its 2023 program and seeks cohorts from five states.

    GrowthAfrica, a Kenya-based startup accelerator and business support platform, is currently seeking applicants for its 2023 accelerator program. Founded in 2002, GrowthAfrica supports business acceleration and offers strategic advice and access to investment.

    GrowthAfrica 2023 program

    The GrowthAfrica acceleration program is a six-month support program that will guide entrepreneurs across a range of business areas, including education on the various components of a business, realizing internal and external realities, and identifying growth challenges with the goal of creating a comprehensive implementation-ready growth plan. The program also offers leadership trading, business acceleration activities, strategic advice and access to investment.

    • Networking: Successful applicants will join a peer-to-peer network of entrepreneurs from across Africa
    • Investment support: GrowthAfrica will support businesses in identifying, accessing and engaging with potential investors
    • Mentoring: Graduates will have access to mentors and experts to offer advice and feedback
    • Financial modelling: Support in building a financial model for business growth and investment
    • Leadership: Entrepreneurs will be given skills and tools to develop stronger entrepreneurial leadership

    Criteria

    GrowthAfrica are seeking applicants from Kenya, Uganda, Ethiopia, Zambia and Ghana.
