EXCITING NEW PARTNERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT FOR WENA & VENTURE CAPITAL FOR AFRICA (VC4A)

We are thrilled to announce we have teamed up with the Venture Capital for Africa (VC4A) on the “Mentor Driven Capital Program”.

Venture Capital for Africa(VC4A) is a fast-growing community of business professionals dedicated to building high growth and impact companies on the African Continent. It leverages its infrastructure, network and expertise towards the development of Africa’s startup community.

We hope that the “Mentor-Driven Capital Program” partnership will bring about the alignment of mentors passionate about entrepreneurs. This partnership will also avail WENA the opportunity to create value by providing vital knowledge, mentorship and investment for the entrepreneurs in Nigeria.

Due to the current challenging crisis, the need to provide early-stage businesses with strong mentorship has never been more important. WENA remains fully committed to being a part of the startup’s ecosystem that will play a critical role in ensuring the survival and growth of Africa’s up and coming entrepreneurs.

SMEs play a large, growing, and vital role in the economy of any country.They are the ‘hidden middle,’ ready for support and investment to thrive further.

"I understand we all are overwhelmed, because there is no manual on how to handle the crisis. But by tackling little things quickly, practically and with empathy, this could lead to action. If not we will be crippled."
