Our learning programs are built specifically for the Southern African startup context — covering the fundraising mechanics, governance standards, and investor relations skills that turn strong founders into funded ones.
From idea-stage founders to Series A-ready companies — every program is built around the realities of raising capital in SADC, not imported from Silicon Valley playbooks.
Ideal for: Pre-seed & seed stage
A comprehensive 8-week program covering business model design, customer discovery, financial modelling, and your first investor pitch. Structured specifically around SADC market dynamics, with live sessions twice weekly and cohort peer learning.
Ideal for: Seed to Series A
Get your startup investment-ready in 4 weeks. Covers cap table clean-up, financial audit preparation, data room construction, SAFE note basics, and investor Q&A simulation — with a focus on meeting Delaware and Mauritius VC standards.
Ideal for: Post-funding founders
A 2-day intensive on managing investor relationships post-funding. Board reporting, KPI communication, follow-on strategy, and navigating difficult conversations — designed for founders who have raised and need to keep investors aligned.
Customised programs for banks, telcos, DFIs, and pension fund managers looking to build innovation capability, understand the startup ecosystem, or train their teams in venture evaluation.
"The Fundraising Readiness Track completely changed how I approach investor conversations. We closed our seed round 3 months after graduating."
"Finally, a program that understands the African context. Not Silicon Valley shortcuts — real tools for real markets."
