Accelerate Africa Startup Program 2026 for Early-Stage Founders

The Accelerate Africa Startup Program 2026 is an accelerator for Africa-based early-stage startups. It provides 1:1 advisory support, workshops, and office hours across core areas to help founders accelerate their business, without taking equity at admittance. An optional investment may be considered after the program, with potential funding from the Accelerate Africa fund or Future Africa in subsequent steps.

1:1 support from experienced advisors, workshops across core areas, coaching sessions, access to a network of founders, and office hours on topics like tech, legal, and finance.

Open to startups from Africa; a co-founder must join the venture, preferably with a balanced team including a female founder.
