World-class acceleration for founders building businesses that last

Sinapis was one of the first organizations in Africa focused on entrepreneurial acceleration. Today, we continue to help ambitious founders build enduring businesses through practical acceleration, integrated capital, and trusted long-term relationships.

Built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs

Designed by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, Sinapis offers accelerators built for the realities of running and growing a business in frontier markets. Our alumni have created more than 16,000 jobs and raised over $120 million in capital. Eighty-eight percent of companies are still operating three years after completing a Sinapis accelerator.

Founders recommend Sinapis to others because the experience is holistic and grounded in real-world business challenges. In our alumni survey, 66% reported learning something through Sinapis that helped save their business from failure.

Serious entrepreneurs deserve serious support

Sinapis works with ambitious entrepreneurs across diverse industries, backgrounds, and stages of growth. Some founders are building businesses in underserved local communities, while others are scaling companies across regions and international markets. What unites them is a commitment to growth, principled leadership, and building enduring businesses with lasting impact. We care far less about pedigree than we do about character, resilience, ambition, and the ability to learn and execute.

We help you persevere through the highs and lows

Building a business can be exhilarating, exhausting, rewarding, and difficult. At Sinapis, we walk alongside entrepreneurs through it all. We celebrate growth, help navigate setbacks, and continue walking with leaders long after an accelerator ends.

This long-term relational commitment is not secondary to our mission. It is central to how we help entrepreneurs build enduring businesses and become leaders that can change nations.

Faith should shape how you build your company

We are followers of Jesus and believe faith should influence every part of life, including business. Sinapis equips entrepreneurs to build companies marked by excellence, integrity, stewardship, and love for people while creating jobs and contributing to the flourishing of their communities.
