Description

Digital Africa sets up for each startup in its portfolio, access to tools and a network of experts to promote their growth and impact.In this context, Digital Africa wants to build a pool of experts at the service of startups in the portfolio. The latter includes multi-sectoral African tech startups in early stage (pre-seed and seed) from 18 priority countries for Digital Africa: Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal, Tanzania, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, Uganda, Zambia, Togo, Cameroon, Algeria, Zimbabwe, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Angola, Mozambique, Sudan, DRC. Thus, the selected experts will be French-speaking, English-speaking and/or Portuguese-speaking. African pre-seed and seed startups often reach a first level of local traction, but face significant hurdles when it comes to scaling up. Several challenges are holding back this growth: difficulties in industrializing sales processes, structuring a successful sales team, adapting their offer to neighbouring markets with different dynamics, or identifying the right distribution relays in a fragmented context. Added to this is an over-reliance on non-dilutive financing or support from international partners, without parallel construction of solid recurring revenues. In this context, support in business growth becomes essential: help startups prioritize their target markets, strengthen their sales capacity (pricing, segmentation, CRM tools), build regional expansion playbooks, and structure strategic partnerships on a pan-African and international scale. Thus, Digital Africa wishes to call upon structures of expertise and/or freelancers in different areas identified, in particular on issues relating to business growth, in order to support the growth of startups in its portfolio.
