Ghanaian startups can now start applying for MEST Express accelerator
The MEST Express accelerator programme is now accepting applications from early-stage Ghanaian startups looking to scale their operations.
MEST Express is one of three programs that MEST is currently running in collaboration with the Mastercard Foundation, along with Pre-MEST and MEST Scale.
The 20-week accelerator program aims to provide early-stage ventures with the skills and resources they need to accelerate their growth, and it provides participating startups with free training, mentorship, resources, and support.
At the end of the program, startups in each cohort will have the opportunity to pitch their ventures for up to US$20,000 in equity-free grant funding.
Since its inception in September 2020, the program has assisted over 40 early-stage ventures.
Applications for the first batch of 2022 cohorts are now open, and startups can apply here until January 16, 2022. Startups that want to apply for the program must first create an F6S account and then fill out the official application form on F6S.
