Entrepreneur programmes

We have a special emphasis on global diaspora and Africa but entrepreneurs  can join from anywhere across the globe

This programme gives ambitious entrepreneurs all the resources, Training, incubation, coaching and a chance to pitch to our community of Angel investors so that you can grow your businesses.

Out of the need to get more businesses ready for investments, we developed the Zidicircle Entrepreneurship Bootcamp (ZEB) which is a business incubation programme targeting underrepresented entrepreneurs in the diaspora and underserved entrepreneurs in Africa who want to grow investor-ready, sustainable and scalable businesses.

We leverage diaspora knowledge and resources to support those in the programme. The programme has so far graduated hundreds of entrepreneurs into launching businesses in their countries of residence, internationally or in their country of origin. We have held country-specific programmes in The Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, DRC, Senegal and Morroco.

Post Covid-19 pandemic, we are supporting diaspora entrepreneurs globally and African entrepreneurs from Across Africa virtually.

From idea to business

Our programme extensively covers diaspora entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs in Africa often with both groups meeting in the same programme virtually. We have found that the diaspora needs the ground network and this gives them that platform, while entrepreneurs within Africa also get great exchanges and help with finding mentors, co-founders or experts from the diaspora. Professional diaspora entrepreneurs also come on board to provide further resources. 

The programme is available for both idea-stage startups who want to focus on business model validation and go to market as well as growing startups with tested products and customers who want to focus on traction and funding.

Admission to the programme starts with taking a business scan to check where you are. Do a scan
