Get ready for the ultimate convergence of innovation, tech, and entrepreneurship in Nairobi. The Startup Garage Summit brings together visionary founders, industry leaders, investors, and creators for two days of immersive learning, networking, and groundbreaking ideas.
Startup Garage is a flagship initiative designed to transform aspiring entrepreneurs into investor-ready startup founders. It is a two-part journey: first, through a rigorous 12-week Startup Academy that builds foundational business skills and practical startup experience, and second, through the Startup Garage Summit, a high-energy, two-day gathering that brings together the best ideas, people, and partners shaping Africa’s startup future. Together, these programs create a powerful pipeline for startup success, from ideation to real-world impact.
With a focus on practical learning, ecosystem collaboration, and real-world exposure, Startup Garage goes beyond theory. It connects emerging founders with mentors, investors, and industry experts who provide the insights and resources needed to scale. Startup Garage offers the structure, support, and stage to help you launch boldly and grow sustainably.
The Startup Garage Academy is a structured, hands-on learning experience for early-stage entrepreneurs who are ready to move from idea to execution. Over 12 weeks, selected participants dive deep into core areas of startup development including problem validation, product-market fit, business model design, customer acquisition, legal structures, branding, and fundraising.
Delivered through expert-led masterclasses, mentorship sessions, and peer-to-peer learning, the academy equips founders with the confidence and clarity to build strong foundations for their startups. The program concludes with an internal Demo Day, where top-performing teams are selected to present and showcase their progress at the Startup Garage Summit.
The Startup Garage Summit is a high-energy, hands-on summit designed to build, refine, and accelerate Africa’s next generation of startups.
