Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
A short application, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] An incorporated, registered digital startup founded September 2019 or later, with a product already on the market
[ ] Based in a country not under US, UK, Swiss or EU trade sanctions (Cuba, Iran and North Korea are excluded)

2. WHAT TO GET READY
The listing does not say what it needs. When you open their page, write down everything it asks for before you start.

3. DATES
- Closes 26 October 2026, in 4 days.
- Aim to send it by 23 October 2026. Websites slow down near a deadline, and data runs out. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
