ELIGIBILITY:

Built for graduates who want more than a certificate.

This is not a classroom exercise. Trainees learn business fundamentals, then apply them inside real AfriFounders companies—with real teams, real customers, and real consequences. Every stage is merit-based, and not everyone who starts continues to the next.
