MTN Cloud Accelerator Programme invites applications from African startups

The MTN Cloud Accelerator Program, which offers capital and scale assistance for growth-stage businesses, is open to African startups.

A 12-week program called the MTN Cloud Accelerator was created to give African startups access to MTN’s robust infrastructure, financial support, and technical integration.

By utilizing MTN Cloud, MoMo, Chenosis APIs, and strategic GTM support across industries such as fintech, health-tech, ed-tech, agri-tech, and more, the program assists growth-stage startups in scaling more quickly.

Individual mentorship with industry experts, cloud credits and technical advisory support, sales and GTM support from MTN teams, investor pitch coaching and warm VC introductions, a demo day with MTN, investors, and media, full API integration with MTN Cloud, MoMo, Chenosis, and other tools, and post-program support including pilots, partnerships, and M&A readiness are all benefits that participants will receive. Each cohort will receive US$65,000 in grants.

Growth-stage startups with MVPs or live products, significant customer traction, and an emphasis on addressing African issues—particularly in underprivileged or rural communities—are eligible to apply for the program.

Applications are open here until August 15.
