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.
It’s not easy to find a roadmap to angel investing in Africa. The programme offers useful insights and material for learning. The creators and instructors share their knowledge and experience without holding back. Definitely worth every minute spent watching the lessons and investor interviews, participating in the Q&As and masterclasses, and reading the resources.
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.
