WHY STARTUP FUND CREATED ?

 

• Few priming funding in Africa because the risk is poorly mastered ..

• No intensive support carriers.

• Therefore cash Waste in most startups in the early stages, the traditional approach is not adapted to the context of uncertainty of a startup that starts.

• No accelerator fully professionalized in Africa (mostly volunteer-based, which has its limits).

 

Why focus on access to the work?

the classical scheme is the following: the team of designers struggle to find money and when she gets there, it is delivered itself and is accountable after a far too long.

we see so many startups who spend months or years developing a product being sure that it will revolutionize the world without holders will go out of their office to meet any customer ... ..

And often at the time, though too late to confront the product to the market, the disappointment is there, forecasts have nothing to do with reality, and the startup is in danger.

The startup Fund's approach is to combine funds raised iteratively with intensive support from a team of experts.
