Funding, drafted, checked, connected
Most African founders never apply. The ones who do, apply blind.
We match you to the funds actually open to you, draft every answer from your own deck, check the deck the fund will read, then get you in the room with the people writing the cheques.

Testimonials
Real feedback from founders finding their funding path 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
"Maybe we do not know a lot of opportunities out there, but you would know, so we are hoping that you guys could point us in those directions."
Ilunga Kibala
"I would be more than happy to pay for you, because you're helping me in ways that no one else has offered to help me, and I'm very, very grateful for that."
"We just did this application in a few hours."
