Programme 1: Meet the Climate-tech Founders Building Tomorrow
Standing out on stage, looking out to Kinjani’s first programme brought a tear to my eyes.
How far we’ve come in such a short space of time.
It’s now month three, and these founders have given it their everything - blood, sweat and tears - all whilst having fun along the way. For Kinjani, this was our first programme - and like any firsts - it wasn’t perfect. Behind the curtain, we were running, hustling and giving it our all - fortunately, the founders didn’t seem to notice - and the show went off without a hitch.
Today we’re highlighting the heroes, the founders. This is what Kinjani is all about. We’re here to back African climate talent. Over the past three months, experts, mentors and the Kinjani team have helped guide founders towards success (and help avoid pitfalls).
It is with great pleasure we introduce these brilliant founders and the businesses they’re building, so let’s dive in.
Founder Spotlight
These founders show a great balance of operational experience, commercial experience and technical expertise. Each startup aims to have a blend of these three skillsets enable founders to build the right team from the start.

See who’s behind it all.
This list deeply gives us hope for a bright future in Africa.
Calling all Climate Tech Founders
We’re now opening up applications for our next programme. As such, we’re seeking to attract founders that have technical, operational and commercial experience. These three skill sets are needed to create science driven innovations.
