3:1 – If the business angel invests more than 10,000€, then the matching fund will triple the amount of funding the startup receives from the angel investors.
The maximum financing from the matching fund is 60,000€ per transaction.
Brand Concept
Together, we can rise to new heights. At our core, we find nothing more rewarding than creating impactful work for clients with meaningful missions. By truly understanding our audience and their motivations, we design digital experiences that truly resonate with people.
Our symbol is more than just a logo; it represents the growth and success of African startups as a result of a catalytic effect. The symbol embodies a change, increase, and growth that occurs when a fuel factor reacts with all startups, enabling them to thrive using a substance known as a catalyst. We believe that access to capital is the X factor that drives innovation and enables founders to achieve their goals as quickly as possible.
Using cultural insights, strategic vision, and the power of emotion, we built and activated the Catalytic Brand across every aspect of its expression.
