Dream VC Announces 2024 VC Programs to Train the Next Pool of Africa-focused Investment Professionals
Dream VC, Africa’s leading venture capital institute and investor accelerator, has opened applications for its 2024 cohorts of African-focused Venture Capital training programs. Since its founding in 2021, Dream VC has trained over 170 African and Africa-focused investment professionals across multiple cohorts. The programs offer a platform for aspiring and current investors to break into the African venture space through a comprehensive curriculum and practical training.
The programs have been highly successful, with alumni like Cinderella Alinaitwe, now an Investment Analyst at Pearl Capital Partners, praising the hands-on experience and industry networking opportunities provided by Dream VC. Previous cohorts have featured guest lectures from prominent African General Partners and startup founders, creating a rich learning environment for participants.
The 2024 programs, “Investor Accelerator” and “Launch into VC,” are tailored to different career stages and run entirely virtually. The “Launch Into Venture Capital” program targets junior professionals and graduates, offering a boot camp format with a focus on skills-based training. On the other hand, the “Investor Accelerator” program is designed for mid to advanced-stage career professionals, providing over 800 hours of on-demand content and practical deal review sessions.
Dream VC’s mission is to create a pipeline of talent for the African venture capital industry and empower the next generation of African-focused investors. The organization has a global community of investors and ecosystem players and has successfully delivered training programs for funds, startup support organizations, and corporates in Africa.
