Background

How the application really works
Do not use the stale VC4A route as a current application. Await a newly dated official cohort page.
Tips
- Read the cited current official page before applying because program dates and terms are volatile.
- State fit with the documented stage, geography, and attendance model; do not rely on an aggregator's old terms.
- Ask for the complete investment, fee, and follow-on documents when the public page does not publish them.
Watch out for
- Historical page says initial investment and EUR 500k+ partner deals but does not publish cash amount, instrument, fee or ownership.
- The page template says 'Applications Open' but the actual deadline is September 8, 2023 and the cohort ended February 2024. It is marked unknown rather than falsely open.
Track record
- AfriTech reports 70% women-led cohorts, 9,600+ jobs created, 90% of alumni still operating and 1.6M average alumni funding; currency is not stated on the page.
Intro call, program-director meeting, light diligence and multi-jury Selection Week; application denominator not published.
