Jasiri Growth Accelerator 2026 for Entrepreneurs from Kenya & Rwanda

Overview

The Jasiri Growth Accelerator 2026 backs proven ventures from Kenya and Rwanda that solve problems and deliver valuable goods and services to unserved or underserved markets. It provides intelligent capital, operational support and access to a wider ecosystem to help ventures accelerate toward growth and impact.

Support is delivered through an appointed Accelerator Implementation Partner, who works closely with each venture's founding team. Capital provision, investment governance and disbursement decisions remain with Jasiri Capital, which funds ventures directly as they progress toward agreed growth milestones. The type, level and timing of support depend on each venture's initial assessment, due diligence findings and a co-created Development Plan.

What you get

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

Who can apply

To be accepted, ventures must show a large potential market with a clear runway to grow well beyond their current reach, and evidence that they address non-consumption by making goods or services accessible or affordable to people who previously lacked them. They need an existing user base showing early traction and demand, a revenue history of at least 24 months, and consistent growth in revenue or user acquisition over that period. They must also have full legal standing, with proof of registration, tax compliance and relevant sector-specific operating licences in their country of operation.

How to apply

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