Another day, another program promising to fix the startup funding gap. A new initiative called Startup 360 Connect aims to link Kenyan entrepreneurs with investors and international markets. The program is a collaboration between the UK Kenya Tech Hub, Viktoria Ventures, Anza Village, and POV. It focuses on training new angel investors and preparing founders for investment.

The angel investor program requires participants to commit a specific sum to a syndicated deal. They receive training on investment strategies and legal structures. A separate founder readiness school helps entrepreneurs refine their business models and pitching skills. The third program component facilitates connections for international expansion, particularly into the United Kingdom market.

The effort seeks to address a concentrated early-stage investment landscape. By training a broader pool of angel investors, it hopes to spread risk through syndication. Organizers state the goal is to professionalize informal investing networks. The program intends to strengthen ties between Kenyan startups and foreign capital sources, creating a more structured funding pathway.
