Opportunity shouldn't depend on who you know.
Kwanza Africa brings the continent's grants, accelerators, competitions, fellowships and business resources into one place — so the next generation of founders spends less time searching and more time building.
What we stand for
Curated, not scraped
Every listing is checked against the official source before it appears, with a direct link to the real application page.
Built for the continent
From Nairobi to Lagos to Marrakech — country, sector and stage filters that reflect how African founders actually search.
Free to founders
Discovery will always be free. No paywall between a young entrepreneur and the deadline that could change their business.
Made for 18-35
Youth-led, women-led and first-time founders are the default audience, not an afterthought.
Founders on Kwanza
"Kwanza Africa was the first place I saw the grant that funded our seed round. It's now the first tab I open every Monday."
"We won a $50K prize we would never have heard about otherwise. The filters make it easy to see only what's relevant to us."
"Beautifully organised. Feels like a real product built for African founders, not an afterthought bolted on to Western tools."
