Our course & programmes feature experienced angels and VCs from across the African continent.

FOR ANGELS, BY ANGELS
The programme features experienced angel investors from across the African continent, and they share their first-hand experience on sourcing, making, managing and exiting investments in Africa. These experts are featured in the online course’s video modules, and in live masterclasses as part of the cohort programmes.
Since 2020, we’ve trained and networked new angel
investors from across the continent.
JOIN OUR PAN-AFRICAN ANGEL COMMUNITY
The African Angel Academy is not just another online course but an integral part of the growing African angel community. When you complete the course or a cohort programme, you’ll join our alumni network for learning and co-investment opportunities, and to keep updated with ecosystem developments. Many of our alumni have found co-investors, networks and mentors through our community.

WHAT OUR ALUMNI SAY
Fantastic opportunity: it goes beyond just professionals who are looking to invest, but also getting professionals who can contribute to start-ups on board, would make the ecosystem that much richer.
The depth of knowledge and experience packed into the AAA programme is so enriching and responds to the huge gaps in the angel investment culture in the continent. Getting access to top industry professionals who have lived and put real money where their mouths are beats any form of defined learning experience.
Not only have I learnt so much about angel investing, but I am now gathering smart women to create a new angel network for Women in Business in Mauritius.
ORGANISATIONS WE WORK WITH
To deliver a high impact learning programme, we work with leading, impact-focussed development financiers
and ecosystem support organisations. We also work with a growing pool of angel networks.
