Company Description
The Tony Elumelu Foundation (TEF) is Africa’s leading philanthropic organization dedicated to empowering a new generation of African entrepreneurs across all 54 countries on the continent. Established in 2010 by African investor and philanthropist Tony O. Elumelu, the Foundation is rooted in the philosophy of Africapitalism, which posits that the private sector is the primary driver of Africa’s social and economic transformation.
The Foundation offers unparalleled access to a comprehensive ecosystem of support designed to scale early-stage businesses and “institutionalize luck” for African innovators. Beneficiaries receive a $5,000 non-refundable seed capital grant, world-class business management training, and one-on-one mentorship from a global network of over 9,000 experienced business leaders.
EduTimes Africa, a product of Education Times Africa, is a magazine publication that aims to lend its support to close the yawning gap in Africa's educational development.
