Madica is a structured investment program for pre-seed-stage companies in Africa. The program runs for 18 months for each company with an investment of up to $200,000.

Madica aims to address the structural gaps undermining innovation and entrepreneurship across Africa. By empowering mission-driven founders with access to capital, mentorship, and resources, Madica seeks to change the narrative around African startups, lowering risk perception, attracting more capital, and inspiring more founders.

We provide our founders with 18 months of structured support through world-class mentorship, executive coaching, peer-to-peer learning, immersion trips, access to global networks and investors, and tools to supercharge their startup’s growth.

No, Madica does not operate a cohort-based program. Our approach is tailored to the unique needs and timelines of each startup we invest in, allowing for a more flexible and personalized engagement. This ensures that founders receive the specific support and resources they need to propel their business forward at the right time.

Startups must have an MVP with ideally some paying customers, have raised little or no institutional funding, be operating in Africa, and be led by local founders who are engaged full-time. Madica prioritizes founders who will not be raising funds during the program and for whom a $200,000 investment will significantly impact their goals.
