Become The Strategic Founder.
Do the Impossible.
The Strategic Founder backs brave African startup founders to solve difficult problems and create great companies using a definite view of the future, deep understanding of how the world works, long-term thinking, and a bias for action.
— Why We Exist
Africa's Future Depends on What the Ambitious Do Today.
Sadly, the most ambitious Africans are held back by traditions, economic hardships, and lack of support — even though the future of Africa depends largely on what they do with their lives.
Our mission is to seek out, curate, and back the most ambitious African founders to utilize their talents in helping humanity move forward by building the most creative and innovative companies there can be.
