Incubation programs
INQB8 Africa offers a tailored 6-month incubation program, open on a rolling basis, designed to help early-stage African startups turn bold ideas into fundable, investable, and scalable ventures. Our program isn’t just about speed—it’s about building strategic depth from the start.
The Goal
To help African startups gain clarity, structure, and traction—so they’re not only investment-ready but also built to last.
Business strategy development grounded in market realities
Product-market fit refinement for diverse African contexts
Fundraising readiness—from SAFE agreements to pitch decks
Long-term value creation through ESG, IP protection, and brand identity
What Sets INQB8 Apart?
Unlike global accelerators with one-size-fits-all roadmaps, we take a hands-on, strategy-first approach, working directly with our startups and adapting to what they actually need—at their pace.
Strategy, not just survival: Our team helps you design a clear business roadmap, integrating go-to-market strategy, unit economics, and investor logic.
IP and company identity: From trademarks to storytelling, we ensure your venture is legally protected and communicates with clarity.
ESG by design: We help you integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance principles early—so you’re not just investable, but future-proof.
Tailored mentorship: You work directly with the founders and a circle of experienced African business leaders who’ve scaled ventures, raised capital, and know what real execution takes.
The format
The core program runs for 6 months with continued support for up to 3 years, depending on your stage and needs. This includes:
One-on-one and group strategy sessions
Legal, financial, and branding clinics
Investor and market preparation labs
Access to our curated mentor and investor network
Optional participation in pitch forums and regional demo events
We don’t believe in artificial deadlines or flashy metrics. We believe in measured growth, disciplined execution, and bold vision.

“Working with INQB8 has transformed my business. As a Tanzanian entrepreneur, I had the vision but lacked the structure and market access to grow. Beata and her team guided me through every step—from refining my strategy to connecting me with the right partners. Thanks to their support, Queen Beez has scaled production, reached new customers, and positioned itself for long-term growth. INQB8 doesn’t just advise, they empower you to succeed.”
