Companies Funded
Solving Africa's hardest problems — with at least 30% still operating 12 months after launch.
Capital Deployed
Deployed or unlocked annually at the flagship pitch day, going straight to student founders.

Built from the inside, not the outside.
Katalyze Africa was not designed by a foreign organisation attempting to support African innovation. It was built by two African Builders, from inside the very talent pool it was designed to serve.
Africa produces world-class talent. It has always been a capital and access problem.
We do not celebrate potential. We fund it.
Katalyze Africa builds the infrastructure that connects Africa's most ambitious founders to the mentorship, networks, and capital they need to compete globally.
Katalyze Africa. Build here.
What the ecosystem is saying.
“What the continent has needed for decades is exactly what Katalyze Africa is building — a platform that connects African students and founders to mentorship, real networks, and funding. The vision is clear, the commitment to impact is evident, and the leadership driving it is uniquely positioned to see it through. This is transformative work.”
