Cohort 10 startup showcases

You’re invited to join us for the upcoming startup showcase events! Our 10th edition of startup showcase events will feature 15 startups that are women-owned.

The AAA startup showcases are a chance for startups nominated as high-potential deals by cohort members and alumni to present to local angel investors in Africa. We will be running three startup showcase virtual events (South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria/ Cameroon) from 16-18 July 2024. 

Startups selected to pitch at these events will also be accompanied by the endorsement from the ecosystem player/angel investor. In the past, the showcase events have proven to be valuable networking and fundraising opportunities for the startups involved.
