Programme Details

The Virtual Diaspora Venture Backers Programme aims at training aspiring venture backers (angel investors) on how to invest in startups and SMEs. Once the venture backers complete their training, they commit to finance our cohort ventures collectively through the Zidicircle Coop. 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 SMEs.
