Bootcamp n°2 in Tunis: focus on fundraising and impact

From 28 to 31 March 2022, the laureates of the 2nd edition of Afrique Créative met in Tunis for a week of training (bootcamp) focused on scaling up and preparing to raise funds.

After more than 6 months of online interaction, the entrepreneurs were finally able to meet each other.

Organised by I&P Conseil (a member of the Afrique Créative consortium), the bootcamp focused on 6 themes:

Determine my financing needs
Distinguish between the different valuation methods
Practical exercises on valuation methods
The fundamentals of an entrepreneur-investor relationship
Measuring the impact of my activities
Discovering ESG standards and analysing the risks of a project

In addition to the sessions, the entrepreneurs were able to exchange with Olivier Bokoga (expert-trainer in finance at I&P Conseil) and with Luc Mayitoukou and Faisal Kiwewa (members of the consortium) on issues specifically related to their company.

The exchanges between the entrepreneurs and the trainers were very interesting and exciting. Moreover, synergies were created and already the beginnings of partnerships between entrepreneurs from different countries are emerging.

The bootcamp marks the junction between the incubation phase and the acceleration phase of the Afrique Créative programme.
