Our Mission

We bridge African startups and global capital

Overwhelmed by the African tech landscape? We curate the founders, products, and ideas worth knowing — so investors, operators, and builders can find each other faster.

What we do

A directory built for the people actually moving the ecosystem forward.

Curate

Every listing is reviewed for clarity, traction, and category fit.

Connect

We make warm introductions between vetted founders and investors.

Amplify

We put the best African products in front of the right audience.

Why BasedAfrica

We started BasedAfrica because the continent's most exciting companies were getting lost in scattered threads and pitch-deck PDFs.
