The 2026 Yale Africa Startup Review is now accepting nominations
The 2026 Yale Africa Startup Review (YASR), an annual Yale Africa student-led and alumni-supported program that highlights firms influencing innovation and entrepreneurship in Africa, is now accepting nominations.
In order to draw in interested international players, the annual YASR seeks to provide a conduit that tells tales of the inventiveness and creativity of the African startup ecosystem.
Millions of dollars in venture capital have been raised by featured YASR firms, which have also been accepted into esteemed startup accelerators, gotten follow-up press mentions from top news outlets, achieved international recognition, and garnered other significant awards.
At Yale University’s Yale Africa Startup Review Conference on March 28, the YASR 2026 list will be made public.
The deadline for nominations is November 22.
