Applications open for the latest cohort of the Harambeans, African innovators who pledge “to work together as one” to unlock the potential of Africa.
Founded in 2008, the Harambeans describe themselves as an “alliance of determined entrepreneurs who are building Africa’s future” and “visionaries transforming Africa’s challenges into opportunities”.
Over the last decade, Harambeans has spawned a series of tech-enabled ventures such as Andela, Flutterwave, and Yoco, which have collectively generated over 3,000 jobs, raised over US$1 billion from Google Ventures, CRE Ventures and Accel.
It receives over 3,000 applications per year, and has 30 spots in each class. Applications are open here until October 31.
