SPRING Information Session - Nairobi

AtGrowthAfrica, we accelerate local businesses in IT, Mobile, Agriculture, Clean Energy & Green Tech and Finance sectors through cohort based business accelerator programmes, strategic advice and access to investments.GrowthAfrica's early-stage accelerator programme is second-to-none due to its focus on the specific reality that entrepreneurs in East Africa are faced with. We recognise and understand the unique challenges start-ups face in different markets, key factors and mistakes that hinder growth or kill start-ups in their infancy and beyond. Our co-founders are all entrepreneurs themselves with extensive experience in starting up and growing organisations in an African context, and the organisation has aided more than 1,500 micro, small and early-stage businesses in eastern Africa since its inception in 2002. More than 11,000 permanent jobs and income generating opportunities and investments worth over USD 30 million is the concrete proof that GrowthAfrica has a winning formula.

By helping entrepreneurs profitably reach under-served markets, SPRING increases investment in market-based solutions that can break the cycle of poverty. SPRING provides entrepreneurs with finance, world-class mentors, and leading experts in business growth, design, and marketing to help drive their business models forward.
