We believe the power of entrepreneurship is the key to solving some of the toughest social and environmental challenges we face in East Africa like inequality, unemployment, poverty and the lack of basic human needs(food, shelter, healthcare, education, safe clean drinking water and many more). Despite the emergence of entrepreneurs building companies using market-based solutions and innovative business models to solve these challenges, the majority of these new companies fail in their early stages unable to operate in an environment that is not designed to facilitate their growth (a fractured ecosystem).

The 2017 Unreasonable East Africa program will run between March-December 2017, with an intensive 5-week institute in August and September, 2017(dates tbd), bringing together 15 high potential companies(from Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda), more than 50 high profile mentors and 20 investors, to live under the same roof in Kampala, Uganda.

WORTH

  • You will have exclusive access to UEA network, comprehensive funding readiness, solid business foundation, connections with high potential investors.

ELIGIBILITY
