For people at idea stage or already building, anywhere in Africa. Peers, feedback, co-builders, and founder-to-founder introductions.
One group, founders across the continent. Ask a question in the morning and get an honest answer from someone who's actually building, not theorizing. Daily intros, deal flow, and real feedback on what you're working on.
Self-paced lessons open to everyone, no gatekeeping. Problem Validation, Solution Validation, MVP Building, and Fundraising Basics, written and taught by people who've actually done it.
Looking for a co-founder, a technical partner, or just someone building something similar? Share your progress here and get matched with people building in your lane.
No form, no waiting. Click the link below and you're in, open to anyone building anywhere in Africa.
We don't charge for Community access and never will. It's the easiest way to find out if Venture Built is for you.
Community is also where OAU students test the waters before applying to the Club or Cohort.
A year-round home to learn how ventures are built, explore problems, find collaborators, and find your way into the Cohort. No idea or product required.
Hands-on sessions every month, on campus. You'll test problems, sketch solutions, and build rough prototypes alongside other students, even before you have an idea of your own.
The same learning, tools, and resources the Cohort gets, no idea or product required to unlock it. You get in the door first, and figure the rest out as you go.
Active Club members get priority consideration when Cohort applications open, a real on-ramp into the selective 12-week program, not a separate world.
Three questions. No CV, no deck, no finished idea needed.
No interview. We review every application within a week.
