Why Academia Joins the Dazzle
Plug in your programme
Partner your entrepreneurship centre or incubator with Dazzle Africa. Your students and researchers get access to real transaction cohorts, not just pitch competitions.
Real deal flow
Students and researchers get matched with startup cohorts and live B2B transaction opportunities. Revenue from day one, not graduation day.
First revenue before first raise
Ventures generate paying customers and validated case studies before seeking capital. Stronger spin-outs that investors actually want to back.
Cross-border reach
500+ hubs in 53 countries. Your programme's ventures can trade across borders before they even incorporate.
Your Challenge
University ventures and entrepreneurship programmes produce great research and ideas. But graduates struggle to find paying customers in the real economy.
The Dazzle Solution
Dazzle Africa plugs your programme into live transaction cohorts. Students and researchers trade with real startups and corporates across the AfriLabs network.
The Outcome
Spin-outs with revenue. Graduates with deal experience. An entrepreneurship programme that produces trading ventures, not just business plans.
