What makes it different
Sub-$100K rounds. Grants. Prizes. Diaspora capital. The databases you know stop before the ecosystem actually starts.
Francophone West Africa. The Horn. Central Africa. Built in from day one — because the continent doesn't end at Lagos and Nairobi.
We run the only systematic failure registry for African startups. When a company shuts down, that story stays in the record — permanently.
Who it's built for
Sub-$100K rounds. Co-investment graphs. Investor conviction scores. Find the company before it's expensive.
Early access for investors →Source attribution on every data point. Credibility scores. A published methodology. The kind of dataset that survives peer review.
