AfriOn

Welcome to AfriOn:

The AfriOn app is a one-stop solution where entrepreneurs, investors, and mentors meet to collaborate on African businesses.

The world’s eyes are turning to Africa, as its markets are enjoying growth rates among the highest. It’s now a race to envision and fund the companies of tomorrow. However, limited access to business development tools remains a critical barrier. Entrepreneurs lack a dedicated channel to meet investors, cofounders, and mentors. While investors struggle to find and filter worthwhile opportunities. The issue? Key professional connections needed to succeed in business are still done through personal introductions. This is where AfriOn helps you, it's the unique solution to access entrepreneurial opportunities in Africa online. AfriOn is available to all those wishing to do business, across all countries and markets.

From Buenos Aires to Addis Ababa to Beijing, our software caters to local and international users interested in commercialising their ideas in African Markets. We’ve cut the middle man out so you can browse the project library yourself and communicate with your newly-made contacts directly inside the app. Whether you’re looking to invest in a project, or for someone to invest in yours, you’ll find what you’re looking for. And that's not all, you can also offer and receive mentoring, or meet your next co-founder or managing director. Now that you’ve found the right tool, don’t get left behind!

While the community is constantly growing, your may find limited results at first, so we will notify you once great potential matches become available.

So what are you waiting for then? Join the AfriOn network today so you don’t miss out tomorrow.

Remember to leave us feedback inside the app so we can provide you with a better experience!

Inside AfriOn - Projects section:

Both investors and entrepreneurs are requested to create a project on AfriOn. The details you provide for the project will be then used to match you with like-minded individuals (entrepreneurs will have to fill in more details as their projects come with a business plan section, with the option to hide sensitive details until they allow trusted contacts access). Goals can be attached to your projects, whether it’s for funding, mentoring, or hiring. These goals allow us to match you with the correct people and no one else. So, for example, if you’re looking to give or receive an amount of investment in country Y, we’ll only match you with projects which specify looking for funding in country Y too.

Inside AfriOn - Matches section:

With our simple business card display format, browsing our database feels more like a breeze than a chore. Our innovative algorithm will present you with the matches which correspond most to your business objectives. You can either browse the results based on the match score or by applying your own filters, allowing unique combinations for project type, industry, country, stage, and goal. Once you like a project and would like to get in touch with the person behind it, send them a contact request with the option to add an introductory note. You also have access to an array of management tools when browsing your results such as the ability to bookmark, hide, and report projects.

Inside AfriOn - Contacts section:

Once you’ve connected with someone over a shared interest in a project, you’ll be able to message them in AfriOn. Our messaging system is secure and quick, it is encrypted end-to-end so we’ve eliminated the risk of your information being lost, leaked, or copied. You can exchange texts, voice recordings, and media files to close the deal with your contacts.
