Are you an investor looking to fuel Africa’s thriving sports and creative industries? Here’s your chance to make an impact!

The Sports and Creative Early Stage Investor Network is your gateway to driving impact, gaining strategic insights, and unlocking new opportunities in these dynamic sectors!

Why should you join this network?

This initiative provides financial support and empowers entrepreneurs with mentorship, skills development, and access to markets. By ensuring long-term sustainability, the network will elevate the next wave of sports and creative entrepreneurs across Africa, equipping them to scale their businesses and compete globally.

Startups in sports tech, entertainment, fashion, gaming, film, music, e-sports, and digital content creation require more than just funding; they need strategic investors who bring expertise, networks, and market insights. Yet, the absence of structured angel investor networks tailored for these sectors has left many promising ventures struggling to scale.

What are the key focus areas for this network?

The network will focus on four operational pillars, each designed to drive growth and support for the sector, providing a strategic advantage that ensures long-term sustainability and success across Africa’s sports and creative industries.
  1. Education & Capacity Building: Equipping investors with specialized knowledge on due diligence, valuation, and deal structuring in the sports and creative industries.
  2. Investment Facilitation: Connecting angel investors with high-potential startups seeking capital.
  3. Mentorship & Advisory: Pairing entrepreneurs with seasoned investors and industry veterans to accelerate business growth.
  4. Networking & Collaboration: Creating platforms for investors, startups, and ecosystem stakeholders to exchange insights and forge partnerships.
