Janngo reviews applications on a rolling basis—there is no fixed deadline, so you can apply at any time. Once submitted, the fund's team assesses your pitch, traction, and team fit against their investment criteria. Successful applicants are typically invited to a first call or meeting to discuss the business in detail. The process from submission to investment decision usually takes several weeks to a few months depending on the stage of review.
What reviewers look for
No, but you need meaningful activity or operations in francophone African markets including Senegal. Remote founders with a clear plan to serve these markets can apply.
This typically means paying customers, measurable monthly revenue, active users, or validated pilots with partners. The exact bar depends on your sector and stage.
Usually 2–4 months from submission to investment decision if you're shortlisted, though this varies. Rolling deadlines mean you don't wait for a funding round to close.
The listing does not specify a standard equity percentage. Discuss this directly with Janngo during your first conversation—investment terms are typically negotiated case by case.
The sources do not state this explicitly. Most impact VCs expect at least a formal business structure; confirm the current requirement when you visit their portal.
