Investor's Fellowship Program

ZIDI Angel Investor Fellowship is a 6 to 12 weeks cohort programme which trains aspiring angel investors. The training is offered in different formats. Aspiring investors can join the self paced training and learn at their own time but also get a chance to learn from other investors during the meetups or due diligence committee meetings. The Generalist stream and Thematic streams are offered on a cohort or country specific programmes which vary from year to year. Previous thematic streams have focused on African diaspora in EU and Africa and topics like Green sectors.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Anyone can become an angel investor, provided you have the ability to invest in a business both in funding and through sharing valuable professional expertise.

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 investments as a group, significantly making the investment process smooth and significantly reducing the risk on individual members.
