How applications are selected

What reviewers look for

• Show actual revenue numbers and customer acquisition cost, not projections. Partech invests in proven traction, not potential.
• Demonstrate that your founding team has prior experience building or operating a business at scale, not just startup ideas.
• Be specific about the African market problem you solve and why your business model works across the continent or in your target countries.
• Prepare for questions on unit economics and path to profitability. Partech partners with founders on operational excellence, so they assess scalability realistically.
• Highlight any regional or global partnerships, corporate customers, or distribution agreements that validate your business model.
