A game-changing event took place in 2018 that breathed new life into old land: the first cohort of the Land Accelerator brought together entrepreneurs from seven countries across Africa. The magic will happen again from September 7-12, 2019, in Nairobi, Kenya. The program is free to attend and takes no equity. Also, travel costs will be covered.
The Land Accelerator is a training program and curated network for entrepreneurs who restore degraded forests and farmland. It is anchored by an action-packed 6-day agenda where the cohort meets in person for business education, technical lectures, and a Demo Day where participants pitch to prospective investors. This is the cornerstone of a four-month support package that includes mentoring, networking, and investor introductions.
