Jasiri Talent Investor Programme

The Jasiri Talent Investor Program is designed for highly driven individuals in East Africa who aspire to launch high-growth ventures. The program invests in individuals first, guiding selected Jasiri Fellows through all stages of venture creation, from ideation to business formalization. Ideal candidates demonstrate a history of achievement and entrepreneurial action, possess significant insights and expertise in a field or industry, and are committed to building an innovative venture from scratch. Applicants should be citizens of Ethiopia, Kenya, or Rwanda, residing in their respective country or diaspora. The program requires a full and active 14-month participation, including a mandatory 3-month residential intensive in Bugesera, Rwanda. Women entrepreneurs and candidates living in the diaspora are strongly encouraged to apply.

Jasiri runs fully funded 13-14 month fellowship cohorts across Africa. The South Africa cohort is currently open (deadline 25 July 2026); East Africa cohorts (Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda) run periodically. Apply via the Jasiri website.
