Director, Acceleration And Seed Funding
CurrentI'm in charge of the Acceleration & Seed Funding Activity at I&P. By leveraging an investment team of 20+ professionals based in 10 African offices, we develop and implement grant-based acceleration programmes dedicated to early-stage businesses which are not yet investment-ready. We provide them with a combination of 3 key components: 1) Seed funding (through repayable advance), 2) Hands-on strategic support and 3) Technical Assistance from external experts. Our objective is to identify, assess, finance and support the next generation of African entrepreneurs at the very beginning of their scale-up journey.
