Founded in 2015, I’MIN launches black-owned, high-growth start-ups into the African technology sector by providing opportunities to technically apt with limited access to resources. Through our programs, we partner with entrepreneurs to build technology-enabled solutions, facilitating access to various early-stage funding vehicles in conjunction with business development support and one-on-one mentorship from industry specialists.
The I’M IN ecosystem is purpose-built for entrepreneurs, enabling them to test their assumptions and validate their products in the market while commercializing the start-ups that show real market potential through intensive programming and support.
