Last week, The Anglo American Foundation (AAF) partnered with Grindstone, an accelerator known for engineering high-growth entrepreneurship, to launch a South African accelerator supporting and empowering entrepreneurs in the green sector.
The 2023 Grindstone accelerator will run as a six-month program designed specifically for post-seed to Series A green sector startups. Leveraging the ecosystem and strategic partners, Grindstone will recruit 15 high growth and innovation-driven green startups for this year’s accelerator.
The selected startups will receive dedicated funding readiness support, including a comprehensive gap assessment; workshops covering strategy and people, marketing and sales, and funding and valuation; and monthly in-depth coaching sessions.
