Inspired by the Prosperity Paradox, AIC is run in different African countries every year. Since its launch in 2020, it has trained more than 1,000 early-stage African entrepreneurs and funded more than 100 of them. This happened in Ghana (2020), Kenya (2021), Rwanda (2022) and South Africa (2023). In 2022, they also launched the Pan-African Health Entrepreneurship Stream, which now runs annually with the support of the Mastercard Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The challenge begins with an individualised pre-incubation phase, starting in April 2024, which leads to the selection of the best-performing ventures for funding and incubation. Each top-performing venture will be interviewed and will be able to choose between a non-dilutive grant or a simple agreement for future capital investment. They will also have the chance to build in Toronto during the summer of 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
