How to apply, step by step

  1. Complete the short online questionnaire on Goodwell's website to confirm initial fit
  2. Submit your formal application via the application form linked on their funding page
  3. Goodwell will review and notify you within 15 business days if you pass to the next stage
  4. If shortlisted, attend an introductory online meeting with their team to discuss your company and ambitions
  5. Move to due diligence phase, providing detailed business and legal documents for in-depth review
Save and track it and we will email you 14 days, 7 days, 3 days, 24 hours and on the morning of the deadline.

How applications are selected

Goodwell reviews your application within 15 business days. If there is fit, you attend a deal screening meeting with their local team. They then conduct thorough due diligence on your documents and operations, which may involve multiple rounds of conversation. Once satisfied, they present your case to an external Investment Committee to approve both the investment and its structure. After approval, you enter a long-term, hands-on partnership with their support across strategy, governance and impact.

What reviewers look for

  • They prioritise businesses generating measurable climate or social impact in essential goods and services, not any revenue-generating activity
  • Clear, quantified impact metrics matter: 'farmers reached', 'tonnes of CO2 avoided', 'healthcare access improved' rather than vague claims
  • Women-led or gender-balanced founding teams are preferred; if your team is all-male, this reduces your competitive position
  • They want to see realistic five-year growth plans, not just current revenue—demonstrate how you'll scale
  • A diverse leadership team with African founders is a requirement; foreign-led teams do not qualify

Frequently asked questions

How much can I borrow or raise from Goodwell?

The funding amount is not published on the listing or programme page. You will learn specifics during the deal screening phase once they understand your business needs.

Can I apply if my business is not yet making revenue?

No. Goodwell specifically targets post-revenue, early-growth stage businesses. Idea or pre-revenue stage ventures are not eligible.

I'm based in Kenya, not Tanzania. Can I still apply?

This specific Growth Capital Fund is for Tanzania. Goodwell does operate a partnership with IYBA WE4A that covers Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania for women-led businesses; check their website for that application route if you are Kenya-based and women-led.

Is there a deadline to apply?

No fixed deadline is published. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so you can apply when you are ready.

What does 'non-dilutive capital' mean?

It typically means debt, grants or revenue-based financing that does not require you to give up equity or ownership in your business. The specific instrument will be determined during the investment committee stage.
