Jasiri, an entrepreneurship development program supported by the Allan & Gill Gray Philanthropies (AGGP), seeks ambitious and driven individuals who want to become entrepreneurs. The program aims to support and guide these aspiring entrepreneurs in the process of building successful businesses that address important challenges and open up new markets.
Jasiri is specifically inviting young people from Ethiopia, Kenya, and Rwanda to apply for its Cohort 5 of the Talent Investor program. Interested applicants will go through a thorough selection process to assess their skills and abilities. Those selected as finalists, called ‘Jasiri
Fellows’, will participate in the fully-funded 13-month Jasiri Talent Investor Program. During the program, Jasiri Fellows will receive support in various stages of venture creation, from generating ideas to startup launch. Fellows are provided with holistic support including funding, world class entrepreneurship development guidance, coaching, business advisory and linkages with industry experts to increase their chances of success. Furthermore, Jasiri Fellows will have the opportunity to connect with like-minded co-founders and receive individual, team, and business support. Since its start in December 2020, the Talent Investor has seen the creation of 42 ventures in a
wide range of industries such as agriculture, healthcare, edtech, affordable housing, and fintech.
