What we run
Operator Network — peer convenings, open-source playbooks, cohort templates, and capacity grants built with and for African hub operators.
Founder Network — a private peer community for African founders with monthly calls, small stage-based circles, and always-on member support.
Capacity support — small, targeted grants for hubs in under-served cities and regions, paired with technical assistance.
Why it matters
Most founder support in Africa is delivered locally, by organisations that operate with limited resources and little cross-border coordination. Strengthening the hub layer has outsized returns on the broader ecosystem — without this tier, policy and capital have nowhere to land.
How to engage
If you run a hub, accelerator, or founder community: the Operator Network is open year-round for applications.
If you are a founder building from or for Africa: the Founder Network is accepting members now.
If you fund hubs: we can help you design grants that strengthen the operator layer without creating dependency.
If you are a policy-maker: we publish the most comprehensive directory of African hubs and can help you understand what is happening in your market.
