Invest in the Future Summit IV - AA3 Demo Day & Investor Conference
In partnership with Future Africa and Itana, we look forward to hosting you at "Invest in Africa's Future Summit IV" featuring our Accelerate Africa AA3 Demo Day, on May 2nd, 2025 in Lagos, Nigeria - ending a great week following our friends at AVCA and AfricArena who are also hosting conferences.
This year's summit theme is centered on Solutions for developing a self-sustaining ecosystem, catalyzed by local capital funding research-led innovation that has global reach.
Following our last demo day in November, the AA1 & AA2 pre-seed / seed founders have gone on to raise $10m+ in funding, with over half hitting their demo day fundraising goal within a few months of the program. Our ultimate goal is to accelerate innovation, helping more startups hit $1m in ARR within 18 months, supporting a healthy innovation economy at the earliest stages, and further - creating a pipeline for many of you at the later stages .
Want in? Join virtually or in person, and at the summit you can use our investor portal to get in touch with the founders. Register now to see the previous cohorts - www.acceler8.africa/register
