NBA Africa Triple-Double Startup Accelerator Program

NBA Africa has unveiled Triple-Double, a new startup accelerator program designed to empower early-stage businesses across Africa.

Focused on innovation in the sports and creative industries, Triple-Double seeks applicants working in event management and ticketing, youth development, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital marketing. Operations must be headquartered in Africa, product must align with one of the five Sports and Creative startup categories, and there must be a proven demand for the product and/or service and demonstrable impact and/or relevancy to the broader African continent.

The program will select 10 startups to receive mentorship from NBA Africa, ALX, and industry leaders. The grand prize winner will receive $50,000 USD in cash and an additional $50,000 USD in value-in-kind support. Second, third, and fourth-place winners will receive 40,000, 30,000, and 20,000 in cash and value-in-kind support respectively. A culminating Demo Day in New York City this September will provide participating startups the chance to pitch to global industry leaders.
