Every major technology wave has produced a different set of winners, not always the first movers, but the builders who understood their context most deeply. AI is moving at a pace no previous technology has matched, and the startups building within African markets, navigating multilingual users, informal economies, and infrastructure constraints, are developing that contextual depth right now.
That is why we are introducing the Ventures Platform AI Foundry so you aren’t left behind.
This 9-week technical programme is built for startups that are serious about shipping production-ready AI products.
50 technical leaders will be selected across Nigeria, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Egypt, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, and Tanzania, to learn from world-class AI practitioners across key African regions, sharpen strategic thinking, accelerate execution, and build AI-powered products grounded in African context and market realities.
If you are a CTO, VP of Engineering, Head of Product, or technical leader at your startup, this is for you.
Applications close on 29th May.
