GET READY TO APPLY: Ventures Platform - Apply for pre-seed and seed funding Ventures Platform Apply on their own site: https://it1j673lesy.typeform.com/to/piDzHmqS This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/ventures-platform-pitch-your-startup-2026 Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours. The application takes real work, by our reading. 1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK [ ] Your startup must mainly serve Africans, on the continent or in the diaspora [ ] Running a pre-seed or seed stage startup [ ] The form asks about your market, product roadmap, traction, business model and team, with a pitch deck upload 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 - No closing date is stated. - Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (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
