Seed capital, engineering, customers and back-office support for the next generation of African tech companies.

Great African technology companies need more than an idea: they need capital, engineering, customers and a team that has built real products before. Venture Incubation Services give founders that foundation, as part of E&M's mission to power and support the next generation of African tech unicorns.
We incubate ventures built from our own proven platforms, ideas from Ascend graduates, and promising ideas or established companies from outside the group. Each venture gets seed capital, engineering and back-office support from E&M, access to the banks, SACCOs and insurers we already serve, and a route to scale across our footprint in the region.
