About

Curious about startups, innovation, or funding in West Africa? Join StartUp Africa Ventures (SAV) for a relaxed virtual session launching the Founder Institute Mano River chapter, bringing the world’s largest pre-accelerator network to Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. This session will explore how early-stage startups in the region prepare for funding and what investors look for at the very beginning. Whether you’re building a startup, mentoring founders, or simply interested in the local tech and entrepreneurship scene, you’re welcome to join the conversation. Open to founders, mentors, professionals, and digital nomads interested in the local startup and innovation ecosystem of West Africa.
