Deep Dive Africa, an initiative by Impact Hub and the GrowthAfrica Foundation, is back for a second year of connecting early-stage investors and African startups. The program is funded by Make-IT in Africa, a project implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

This year’s edition of Deep Dive Africa focuses on four locations, Accra, Nigeria, Kigali and Nairobi. Investors will enjoy a tour of the startup ecosystem in each of these cities. A final 3-day virtual event, where investors and startups will connect, takes place from 23 to 25 February, 2022.

The Deep Dive Africa programme aims to connect 40 investment-ready startups from Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Kenya (10 per country) to investors from across the globe. During its first successful edition in 2019, startups from Accra & Lagos raised a total of $500k investment as a result of their participation in Deep Dive Africa. Deep Dive Africa II will once again take investors on an immersion of the startup ecosystem across the four countries and provide support to selected startups in getting ready to pitch to investors. 

Are you a startup in Nigeria looking to raise a minimum of $100k in pre-seed or seed funding and have the following;
– A validated market demand and achieved product-market fit.
– A proven market traction and recurring revenue.
– Ability to execute and build a digital presence?
