How to apply
Apply online through the Baobab Network's application platform; the accelerator takes applications on a rolling basis.
1. Open the application from the "Apply" button on thebaobabnetwork.com (it leads to platform.thebaobabnetwork.com).
2. Describe your business model, team, market and the traction you have so far.
3. Upload your pitch deck.
4. Shortlisted founders are invited to interviews before an investment decision.
Before you apply: the network backs early-stage, tech-enabled African startups whose founders live and work in a market it covers, so have a working product and evidence of demand (users, a waitlist or sales). The investment amount and equity have been reported differently over time, so confirm the current terms with the Baobab Network before you accept an offer.
