VENTURE FOR AFRICA
Venture for Africa (VFA) is a 3-month fellowship program designed to immerse top global and local talent in the African startup ecosystem. We enable experienced talent who might be new to the startup space or the particular market they’re looking to enter, to soft-land and gain context while working with a startup that's hiring now.
We do this by partnering with Africa's fastest-growing startups and venture builders to co-design an experience that enables fellows to quickly gain relevant skills and in-market knowledge, complete real project work and get fast-tracked to apply for full-time roles.
VFA FELLOWSHIP
As the real impact of COVID-19 and the global financial crisis becomes more apparent, startups in Africa need skilled and agile talent more than ever. Simultaneously, talented candidates around the world have suddenly found themselves looking for a place to apply their skills, passion and energy - now. The VFA Fellowship is designed to bring them together.
How might we forge a connection between startups operating in Africa who need talent more than ever, and skilled individuals around the world looking for the right opportunity to devote their passion, skills and time - right now?
