About

Dimewise Africa Catalyst Program (DACP) is a venture-building incubation program designed to support early-stage entrepreneurs developing innovative and impact-driven solutions across Africa.

The program features two specialized tracks:

  • AfyaSprint, focused on health innovation
  • Circular Stitch, focused on sustainable fashion, textile innovation, and circular economy enterprises targeting women and youth.

Through mentorship, business development support, market access opportunities, ecosystem connections, and investment readiness guidance, DACP helps founders validate their ideas, build sustainable ventures, and scale solutions that create meaningful social and economic impact. Implemented in partnership with Bridge for Billions under the Conecta Africa ecosystem, the program combines structured incubation with access to a network of mentors, partners, and growth opportunities.
