Fledge
The conscious company accelerator
Fledge is a global network of impact accelerators, each providing an intense program of entrepreneurial education and mentorship, guiding entrepreneurs through the complex path from idea to revenues and profits.
For each session, we seek the most impactful startups from around the world. We have invested in dozens of African startups to-date, and with a partner run an annual week-long program in Nairobi. Fledge graduates include companies like BURN Manufacturing, East Africa Fruit, OBRI Tazania Geossy, Chicken Basket, Cowtribe, Asheba Enterprise, Agromyx, Swahili Honey, Kalahari Honey, Ziweto Enterprise, Obamastove, and more, who combined have raised millions of dollars of investments, earn millions of dollars in revenues, and which are improving the lives of millions of Africans.
Each invitee receives $20,000 in cash and is invited to 7 weeks of intense training, surrounded by a flood of experienced mentors and impact investors.
Details are on startups.fledge.co along with our online application.
