Could you be sent to a remote village to work for months without regular electricity, Internet and the comfort of an air-conditioned office, in a hot and humid equatorial climate, and still get things done with passion? In an impoverished region with no infrastructure, could you walk or bike for miles to meet underserved people who need your product or service? Could you keep your head in the game when the chips are down and the stakes are high?
If you can answer each of the above questions with a firm and enthusiastic YES, you should apply! Otherwise, this is probably not for you.
Our Entrepreneur-In-Residence Program is a 18-month-long residency for brilliant, passionate, entrepreneurial minds looking for great opportunities to make a positive impact on underserved communities and advance equitable economic development in Africa by using their talents to help develop game-changing companies from scratch.
