Review the official criteria before applying

African citizens aged 15–22, including Ugandans, with valid identification may apply. Applicants must be founding members of operating Africa-based ventures serving African customers or beneficiaries and dedicate at least twenty hours weekly. Any sector is eligible; formal business registration is unnecessary, but an idea without operations is insufficient.
