This year, something happened that changed the future of our company forever. We asked ourselves one question:
“ How could we walk side by side with founders across the continent, enabling them to build without boundaries?”
We have developed our operating model and offering to entrepreneurs across Africa!
We are now 54 Collective!
Over the next 5 years, we plan to invest in 105 startups all across Africa. From the idea stage to Seed Plus, we provide founders with equity capital up to $250k and non-dilutive capital up to $150k.
Founders now have access to:
→ Catalytic funding through equity, non-dilutive capital with female founders getting an additional $150k loan to break barriers of access for women
→ Venture Success Platform (previously known as studio services) that offers tailored value-add support to our founders as well as content and tools to support and create value for their ventures
→ Expert side-by-side support through a team of 30 Venture Specialists, perfecting their product, hiring, business strategies, and fundraising strategies.
As an old African proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”.
Together, we at 54 Collective are changing the future of African entrepreneurship.
