Applications have opened for the Standard Chartered Women in Technology Incubator Kenya, which combines world-class startup support with local and international experience to support female founders and help them grow their businesses. The programme, an initiative of Standard Chartered in partnership with Strathmore University’s @iBizAfrica incubator, focuses on immersive learning, mentorship, and building and growing Africa’s next generation of startups with the support of seed capital. “We are seeking to recruit the best entrepreneurial minds, women-led tech startups as key drivers of innovation in business,” the organisers said. Selected startups will take part in a 12-week immersive learning experience, gain access to a network of coaching experts, and access B2B networking opportunities. The top seven finalists will receive KES1 million (US$7,500) in equity-free grant seed funding, as well as nine months of ongoing support from Standard Chartered and @iBizAfrica to assist with go-to-market and scale.
