We exist to close the growth gap for African businesses by providing what most startups and SMEs lack: practical training, mentorship, access to communities, and tech-enabled tools that drive real progress.

Afriscale serves as a launchpad and growth partner for businesses across the continent. We connect entrepreneurs to experts, resources, and opportunities that help them overcome barriers, expand their reach, and operate at scale.

We believe Scaling is not just about size, it’s about Structure, Systems, and Sustainability.

To accelerate the growth of African businesses by providing access to training, mentorship, innovation tools, and communities of support.

OUR WHY
