Since its launch in 2017, the VC4A Venture Showcase Africa alumni have raised over US$630 million, and this year’s edition is seeking startups that are operating in Africa, generating revenue, and looking to raise a seed or Series A round. The Venture Showcase is sector-agnostic, and focuses on high growth, high-impact ventures that are driving economic growth throughout the continent. Selected ventures will gain access to the VC4A Venture Showcase deal room, including more than 200 early-stage investor organisations, as well as to Investor Readiness Training (IRT), mentorship and technical support from partnering VC investors and corporates.
