mentorDay Free Online Accelerator for African Founders

mentorDay is a Spanish non-profit that runs a free online acceleration programme. Founders get practical training, tools and mentoring from experienced business people, and work through business model validation, marketing, internationalisation and funding strategy. Founders who complete the programme can move on to one-to-one mentoring.

It is open to idea-stage projects and to running businesses that want to grow. Programme material is translated into the language you choose.

This is mentorDay's invitation for Startup Map Hub founders. Registering through it covers the registration fee in full. Close to 80 founders from more than 20 African countries have joined this way since July 2026, and more than 15 have secured a place in a cohort — including SPORTINGS, a Cameroonian sports-commerce startup that became the alliance's first founder to complete the full programme and finish 2nd in its edition.
