The Baobab Network

The Baobab Network runs accelerator programmes.

They immerse top investment and strategy professionals from around the world into early stage tech businesses in Africa that are actively looking to raise equity rounds. Their programmes last for two weeks, and by helping these companies raise money, they believe they can maximise their social impact whilst genuinely challenging the teams that take part. After their programmes, they plug the most promising companies into a carefully curated network of Angel, VC and Impact Investors. The start-ups in their network share key attributes with the Baobab Trees that have thrived south of the Sahara for centuries.
