Afrique Excelle had enabled 18 of the top 20 startups in French-speaking Sub-Saharan Africa to raise funds for a total amount of approximately 10 million dollars, making it a total success.

Afrikhaliss aims at digital startups with impactful solutions for local and regional value chains.

The program targets companies that already have a product or service on the market and are generating revenues.

However, applications from companies not yet generating revenue will also get considered.

Eligible companies are based or generate at least 75% of their turnover in one or more of the following markets in Francophone West Africa:

Benin, Togo, Burkina Faso, Guinea Conakry, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Niger and Senegal.

We are sector agnostic and are looking for later stage digital solutions with services or products available on the market now.

Entrepreneurs will get mentored by international and local experts, trained through a tailor-made program, increase their brand visibility and have access to potential partners and investors.

Through its collaboration with leading investors with a focus on Francophone Africa, Afrikhaliss will help the selected start-ups attract capital.

This year’s program will take place in two virtual or physical residences, in Senegal, depending on the evolution of the health situation, and in Côte d’Ivoire.

Flagship activities include two one-week residential training sessions in Dakar (Senegal) and another in Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire).

Offering entrepreneurs the opportunity to develop their professional network and learn from mentors, peers and local and international partners.

The residential training in Dakar will conclude with a Pitch which will take place during the second edition of the Francophone Africa Investment Summit.

Where entrepreneurs will present their start-ups to a large audience of new technology experts, investors, large companies, experts and media.

The program has as partners leading investment funds and business angels active in Francophone Africa.

Interested companies can apply online, no later than 19 June 2020.

The Afrikhaliss program got initiated by Suguba and Mercy Corps, with financial support from the French Development Agency.

Implemented by Suguba in partnership with Village Capital, Impact Hub Dakar and Impact Hub Abidjan.
