Mindcapital’s Founders Fellowship is a 90-day program that helps Africans turn their ideas into real tech startups. If you have an idea but don’t know how to build a business, this program will guide you step by step. You can join even if you have a full-time job.
However, you will have to cover your own costs to participate. But if you get into the Founder in Residence program after the fellowship, you will receive financial support to build your product.
This program is for you if:
- You are an African ready to start a business
- You have a problem you want to solve
- You don’t have a product yet
What you get:
Workshops by Experts – Learn how to build a startup, find customers, and sell your product.
Bi-weekly Sprints – Every two weeks, you will complete tasks to move your startup forward.
1-on-1 Mentoring – Get personal advice from experienced entrepreneurs.
A Supportive Community – Connect with other founders and learn from each other.
Fully Online – You can join from anywhere in the world.
Completely Free – No fees, no hidden costs. Just focus on building your startup.
You need to spend 5-10 hours a week on workshops and assignments. The program is designed for working professionals.
After completing the program, you will stay connected with a strong network of founders and resources. Some founders will get a chance to join the Founder in Residence program.
