Scaling an innovative startup in East Africa? The develoPPP Ventures programme is offering EUR 100K equity-free match funding to catalyze your growth.
Before you apply, review the official eligibility criteria to see if your business qualifies:
✅ Your company is registered in Kenya, Rwanda, or Tanzania, or you plan to do so prior to the investment.
✅ Your company is privately owned and profit-oriented.
✅ You are able to provide at least one annual financial statement.
✅ Your company has not raised more than EUR 2M in funding to date.
✅ You have secured EUR 100K in external investment in the last 6 months, OR you are in advanced talks with investors with prospects of closing a funding round in the near future.
If you are in the process of active fundraising, you don't need to wait until the round is completely finalized. You can use a potential commitment for this EUR 100K match funding as a powerful incentive to nudge private investors across the finish line and close your round faster.
