About this opportunity
AU-Startups Dealflow is a fundraising matchmaking channel rather than a grant. Founders who pass the call's three filters are put in front of investors actively writing cheques into African tech.
Every submission goes through an editorial screen first. The call asks three questions of a founder: whether the raise is a Pre-seed, Seed or Series A; whether the round size sits between $25K and $1M; and whether the company has a working product or signed LOIs.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so a founder can pitch as soon as those three conditions are met.
