Paper Plane Program 2025 for African Startups

Paper Plane Program 2025 targets African startups with an MVP, providing access to pre-seed and seed funding opportunities, market exposure in Africa, and connections with regional ecosystem players.

Participants will engage in an intensive program with expert-led workshops, mentorship, and hands-on activities; opportunities for investment matchmaking with VCs and accelerators; an immersion week in an African market to gain regional exposure and build connections.
