Futurize Founder Academy

Are you a current university student or alumnus of up to 3 years in our partner universities across Africa? Secure your spot now for Founder Academy powered by Futurize. Form a team of 3-6 students (each member must register individually) from your university or a mixed university team.

The program virtually brings together hundreds of students and recent alumni from universities across 10 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa for an entrepreneurship bootcamp and innovation competition. Participants form multi-disciplinary teams, attend workshops, mentorship, and hands-on training to generate solutions for early-stage business ventures in healthcare & climate change. In the end, teams pitch their ideas to a panel of judges and are awarded pre-seed investment through cash prizes and opportunities to advance their careers. Founder Academy is one of the continent's largest cross-university and international innovation programs.
