If you’re an African founder solving a big challenge with an innovative solution, this is your moment.

We’re backing founders who are bold enough to dream big, and build market-creating innovations with potential for global scale. In 2026, we will be funding solutions at every stage, under these two streams:

1. Pan-African Health Entrepreneurship (HENT)

Stream, for solutions from any country in Africa – solving challenges tied to #healthcare

2. #Nigeria Country Innovation (CI) stream, for solutions across any industry, operating in the Nigerian market

* Here’s What You Get:

• Access to funding via investments or grants, tied to your specific stage
• Covered travel & accommodation costs, to expand across Africa and globally
• Market access & penetration support – with tailored resources and programming tied to your sector
• Integration into a global network of Africa’s most impactful founders, corporations, and investors

This year, AlC has four stage-specific tracks, to ensure the founder experience is tailored to your next milestone:

• EXPLORER TRACK — Have an idea? No MVP needed. We support idea-stage innovators validating problems and shaping ventures from day one.

< BUILDER TRACK – Building or refining your MVP?

Preparing to launch? With early revenue under $20K

USD/year? Let’s help you get to traction.

MOMENTUM TRACK — You’ve launched, you’ve got real customers, revenue between $20K-$99K USD/year, and you’re moving toward product-market fit? Time to accelerate.

SCALE TRACK – Already hitting $100K+ USD in annual revenue with strong PMF? Ready to expand to new regions and markets? Let’s prepare you for seed or Series A.

Applications close January 31 2026. Don’t miss this opportunity to join a cohort of market-shaping innovators and scale your impact globally. To apply, please check out the link in our bio!
