Impacc startup cohort for African founders

Apply for venture building and patient capital

Impacc selects stellar entrepreneurs with a social mission, innovative, local, green businesses that can create jobs at the base of the pyramid. Founders who pass due diligence join a cohort with capacity building, board-level support, and capital to scale proven impact models.

What you can do

  • If you are an African founder with a working business model and measurable community impact, review eligibility on Join the Cohort
  • Prepare evidence of traction, job creation, and ecological sustainability: Impacc prioritises outstanding female founders
  • Connect peer founders in your city with the programme if they are stuck between aid grants and commercial investment

How to participate

  • Apply through the official Impacc cohort page (requirements and timelines are published there)
  • Impacc works in Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, with offices in Hamburg, Nairobi, and Addis Ababa

Why it matters

Too many great enterprises stall in the "missing middle." A structured cohort lowers the risk for founders who already serve their communities but need patient partners to grow.
