FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Yes, we encourage participants to come together and form investment groups, this way remittances can be more meaningful as the diaspora make collective savings and invest together. One business can easily raise funds from a group rather than from one investor, our member-driven special purpose vehicle allows members to make investmentsas a group, significantly making the investment process smooth and significantly reducing the risk on individual members.

Our Angel investor fellowship is made possible by our generous impact partners  who cover most of the costs. However, participants are requested to make a commitment contribution to cover part of the cost before the start of the programme. Please check each programme requirement.
