Bridge Seed Global (BSG) has officially launched a three-month impact-driven accelerator program designed to support young African start-up founders aged 18–35 with funding, mentorship, and global investor access.
Cohort 1 is expected to commence at the end of Q1, 2026.
The accelerator provides £5,000 in equity-free capital to every start-up selected into the program, removing one of the most significant barriers facing early-stage founders — the pressure to give up equity too early.
In addition to funding, founders receive structured business training, one-on-one mentorship, networking opportunities, and direct introductions to angel investors and venture capital partners within Bridge Seed Global’s international network.
Founded by UK-based African investor Leandra Mika, alongside Managing Partner Ola Josh, Bridge Seed Global was created to back founders building sustainable, impact-led businesses across Africa.
The organisation supports ventures capable of creating jobs, solving local challenges, and contributing to long-term economic growth.
Beyond its commercial focus, Bridge Seed Global operates with a values-driven philosophy.
The firm believes entrepreneurs are co-creators with God, and that capital should be invested responsibly to glorify God through businesses that serve communities and drive inclusive development.
