HOW IT WORKS
A fair shot for ideas across Africa.
Discover emerging startups, support the ones you believe in, and give founders a place to be found.
Put your startup on the mapFind your next favourite startup
Browse approved startups from across Africa. Search by name, idea, category or country, and open a listing to learn more about the founder and what they’re building.
Support what you believe in
You can vote for a startup without creating an account. A browser cookie remembers one vote per startup, and you can remove your vote at any time. We use rate limits to reduce spam.
Understand the rankings
All time shows total support. Today shows votes in the current South African calendar day. Ties favour the more recently published startup, then its stable ID. A vote reflects community interest, not an endorsement or investment recommendation.
Submit for review
Tell us about your startup, where it’s based, and provide a working website. A moderator reviews submissions before they appear publicly. We look for a real project, an African connection and a clear, honest pitch. You’ll receive an email after review and can track or edit your submission in My account.
Keep promotion separate
Paid promotion is labelled separately. Advertising does not buy votes or change community rankings. We may remove spam, impersonation or misleading listings.
