Join our ‘In The Box’ Youth Entrepreneurs Community! What drives us at Boxplay? 1. African challenges require African solutions. 2. These innovative solutions need to be built by young African entrepreneurs. 3. We support and co-create ventures with daring entrepreneurs with limited access to traditional venture financing. 4. The existing financing models for early-stage investing on the continent leave out many talented entrepreneurs from non-conventional backgrounds. 5. By expanding the entrepreneurial talent pool and access to financing, we broaden the nature of the challenges tackled and solutions created in Africa. Entrepreneurial capacity building is a critical element in building the Africa we want. Therefore, we are excited to announce our ‘In The Box’ Youth Entrepreneurs Community!
