In the evolving landscape of startup financing, Revenue-Based Financing (RBF) has emerged as an attractive alternative to traditional equity or debt funding. For many entrepreneurs—particularly in Africa’s growing innovation space—RBF provides a pathway to scale without giving up ownership or taking on overwhelming debt.
At the Kwathu Kollective, we believe that the future of Africa lies in the hands of its young people. With this vision, we are proud to introduce the M’mawa Apprenticeship Programme, a transformative initiative designed to bridge the gap between academia and the professional world. Named after the Chichewa word for “morning,” the programme symbolizes a new dawn for young professionals embarking on their career journeys.
The Ntha Foundation and Kwathu Kollective are participating in the Youth Connekt 2024 Summit in Rwanda, focusing on youth empowerment through innovative skilling. Founder Nthanda Manduwi will present a keynote on sustainable skilling and bridging the education-employment gap, while the organizations seek collaborations to drive youth-led development initiatives across Africa.
The Kwathu Kollective envisions becoming Africa’s leading network for creativity and innovation, uniting pioneers from startups, tech, and corporate sectors to drive meaningful impact. We share with you how we plan to do it; and how you can get involved.
