Sahara Accelerator

Run by Sahara Ventures.

Sahara Ventures runs a flexible, virtual generalist engagement from Dar es Salaam for startups at minimum viable product or post-revenue stage, with no stated cohort length. It is explicitly equity-free: the site says it backs African businesses without taking ownership, so founders retain control. No cheque is offered - the programme connects startups to investors and partners rather than investing itself.
