About

The Innovation Seed Fund is here to back the next wave of bold African ideas. It’s designed to support emerging founders, creatives, and changemakers who are building solutions for real challenges across the continent. Whether it’s a new startup, a community project, or an innovative approach to development, the fund provides early support to help turn promising ideas into something real. At its core, it’s about giving people the resources, confidence, and momentum to create lasting impact — starting from the seed.
