Fledge Africa invites aggregators, food processors, and other companies buying from or selling to smallholder farmers to apply for the hybrid in-person/online program.
Run in partnership with Africa Eats, a pan-African investment company that similarly focused on for-profit companies that lower hunger and poverty by creating incomes for smallholder farmers and by greatly lowering post-harvest losses.
Attendees of Fledge Africa will receive an investment from Africa Eats and be invited to join its portfolio of fast-growing, profitable bizi.
Fledge Africa 2026 included a one-week in-person bootcamp in Nairobi, Kenya followed by online training, with a goal of doubling the revenues of each attendee in the next 6-18 months.
