About
Venture for Africa
Venture for Africa is a fellowship program designed to fill talent gaps in Africa’s startup ecosystem by enabling top local and global fellows to access opportunities at leading startups in Africa.
Note from the editor

There’s a talent gap in the African startup industry, but it’s not what you think. Exceptional talent from across Africa and the Diaspora are looking to break into the tech startup landscape, but often find difficulty understanding the startup market, making connections and learning how to apply their skills in this context. ​Meanwhile, fast-growing tech startups struggle to find plug-and-play talent that meets their needs and shares their ambitions. Venture for Africa looks to bring these two sides together while creating an ecosystem where both sides can thrive!
