Events, matched to your applications
The investor reading your application will be in a room this month. We'll tell you which one.
We match you to events attended by investors from the funds you've applied to, so you meet the people deciding on you.

This is what a match looks like
Two cards. A founder should understand the entire product from these without reading anything else on this page.
Amina Yusuf · Partner, Zawadi Ventures
Judging the fintech pitch stage at the Africa Tech Summit.
Why you'd see this: you applied to Zawadi Ventures 3 weeks ago, and their partners judge this stage every year — this is where they'll be next.
Tunde Bakare · Principal, Rift Valley Capital
Speaking on the growth-stage panel at GITEX Africa.
Why you'd see this: you applied to Rift Valley Capital 6 weeks ago, and their team speaks on this panel every year — this is where they'll be next.
We can't match you to a real event yet — which means you're missing out until we do. Here's how you get matched:
Through our drafting workspace, to the funds that fit your stage, sector, and country — the same applications you're already sending, not an extra step.
See funding →We watch which of those funds have partners speaking, judging, or attending across every event on our map, and check it against the list you've applied to.
The event, the date, and the reason — which fund, which person, why it matters to your raise — before you spend anything on a ticket.
Before you spend on a ticket, a flight, and two days away from the business, make sure it's the right room — not just any room. Book the wrong event and you're funding a trip; book the right one and you're standing next to the investor who's actually reading your application. Your shortlist is how you get matched to where the people with the money are, before you spend a shilling on the wrong one.

Testimonials
Real feedback from founders finding their funding and their room on Startup Map Africa.
"I'm really shocked that you wanted to talk to me... I've been working on this for 16 years. And there's not a single person that has been willing to figure out what we do."
Peter Nyaga
"I was really surprised that a platform like you exists... Like something that's like tailor-made for us. I got a lot of good information from there."
Keith Simkin
"Startup Map Africa gave us an exposure, which is very much key... being registered, easily matchable and profiled is very much key that we can make reference to."
Isaac M. Supu

Ilunga Kibala
