Jasiri Growth Accelerator 2026 for Entrepreneurs from Kenya & Rwanda

Deadline: October 8, 2026

Applications are open for the Jasiri Growth Accelerator 2026. The Accelerator backs proven ventures from Kenya and Rwanda solving problems and delivering valuable goods and services to unserved or underserved markets. They provide intelligent capital, operational support, and access to a wider ecosystem, helping ventures accelerate toward growth and impact.

This support is delivered through an appointed Accelerator Implementation Partner, who works closely with the venture’s founding team. Capital provision, investment governance, and disbursement decisions remain with Jasiri Capital, which provides funding directly to ventures as they progress toward their agreed growth milestones.

The type, level and timing of support provided to each venture is informed by its initial venture assessment, due diligence findings, and the co-created Development Plan.

Benefits

The maximum support of USD $75,000, provided through a mix of technical assistance and direct funding, is only one component of a broader support model that includes milestone-led venture building, technical expertise, investor readiness, and ecosystem access.

Eligibility

To be accepted into the Jasiri Growth Accelerator, ventures must demonstrate

A large potential market, with a clear runway to grow well beyond current reach.

Evidence of addressing non-consumption by making goods or services accessible or affordable to people who previously lacked them.

An existing user base, proving early traction and demand.

A revenue history of at least 24 months.

Consistent growth in revenue or user acquisition over that same period, showing a credible trajectory.

Full legal standing: proof of registration, tax compliance and relevant sector-specific operating licenses in country of operation.

Application

The Jasiri Growth Accelerator follows a structured, multi-stage selection process designed to identify ventures with the strongest growth and investment potential, from initial application through to final funding disbursement.
