Cascador Grants for African Entrepreneurs 2025 ($2M)

Cascador empowers mid-stage African entrepreneurs to scale their mission-driven companies, equipping them with proven business strategies, leadership skills, and exclusive access to our new $2M Catalytic Fund.

We focus on building strong leadership skills, clear value propositions, appropriate funding plans (equity, debt and/or grants), a strong network of local resources and a community of peers.

The program consists of:

  • In person and virtual experience;
  • Individual mentorship following the program to ensure our fellows can apply what they learn in the real world;
  • $5,000 USD stipend for personal development;
  • A small number of alumni may eventually qualify for debt or equity funding from our affiliated financing organization.
  • $50,000 USD in prizes awarded for Impact, Best Pitch and Exemplary Cascador;
  • Eligibility to apply for our $2M Catalytic Fund after program completion, with investments decided at our annual Pitch Day.

Our goal is that you leave the Cascador program as a strong, transformative leader with a strategic plan to scale, and the connections, resources, and capital required to execute your plan.
