An extension of the Google for Startups Accelerator Africa programme established in 2017, the female-focused accelerator aims to empower and support women founders on the continent by providing resources and opportunities for them to scale.
The 12-week programme, which begins in March, includes one bootcamp per month, with selected participants receiving access to Google’s products, mentoring from industry experts, resources, tools, and technology, as well as networking opportunities and connections with investors to support the growth of their startups.
“We are excited about the open call for applications for our three-month accelerator programme, specifically tailored to address the unique challenges faced by women founders in Africa.
