We believe entrepreneurship is a key driver for development. Entrepreneurship should be a main driver in capturing sustainable economic growth, in particular, the high growth high potential ventures working to develop important innovations and disruptive new business models.

This breed of company offers a significant source of employment and provides an important income stream for future generations. The entrepreneurs VC4A exists to support contribute up to two-thirds of national GDP and provide the foundation for a stable middle class. They help form strong communities and are a powerful force for development.

VC4A started with the mission to build up Africa’s start up community. Started in 2007, the network building organization has grown organically over the years into what is now the leading community working to build high growth high impact companies globally.
