“How to Startup” fellowship for African entrepreneurs launched by Future Africa, CatalyzU

A seven-week program called “How to Startup” has been launched by Future Africa in collaboration with CatalyzU. Its goal is to empower African entrepreneurs by providing them with the fundamental knowledge and skills they need to establish profitable businesses.

While CatalyzU identifies, develops, and places Africa’s top talent, Future Africa is a preeminent pan-African venture capital firm. Now, the two are working together to introduce “How to Startup,” a brand-new program designed for startup employees, aspirant founders, startup founders, and even corporate innovators who are keen to introduce and grow creative ideas in Africa.

The immersive fellowship, which was created by a group of the top venture capitalists and founders in Africa, provides specialized, hands-on training that goes beyond conventional entrepreneurship education.

In order to promote a deeper understanding of the distinctive subtleties of the African startup ecosystem, participants will get hands-on training from industry leaders and acquire useful strategies through live learning and real-world case studies.

“Africa is home to a vibrant, rapidly growing entrepreneurial landscape, and we’re thrilled to launch this fellowship to empower the next generation of African startups,” said Karl Nchite, co-founder and CEO of CatalyzU.

“By providing hands-on, live learning experiences and access to an extensive network of industry leaders, we’re equipping entrepreneurs with the tools and support they need to turn their innovative ideas into thriving businesses.”

Fellows will graduate into CatalyzU’s Alumni Network, a dynamic network of more than 200 prominent founders and venture capitalists throughout the continent, after the program, which offers opportunities for continued support and collaboration.

Applications for the CatalyzU “How to Startup” fellowship are open.
