We are very excited to launch the Venture Backers Programme whose main aim is to train aspiring venture backers (investors), on how to invest in startups and SME’s. Once the venture backers complete their training, they commit to finance our cohort ventures either individually or collectively.

Zidi Venture Backers Programme is targeting aspiring diaspora investors, international investors as well as investors in Africa. Participants join a general programme and then branch out to join various chapters per country/region. This will essentially help to reduce the financing gap currently within diaspora enterprises/African SME’s. This programme has 3 chapters; the Global diaspora, the Kenyan chapter and the Ghanian Chapter. Read more
