African Entrepreneur Collective is a collection of business accelerators that support local entrepreneurs to drive job growth. The AEC accelerators partner with young entrepreneurs to build their skills, expand their networks, and grow their businesses so that they may employ others. AEC’s goal is simple: support local African entrepreneurs by providing them the capacity building, mentorship, and direct financing so that they can grow their enterprises to create jobs in their communities. AEC’s signature program, Inkomoko Business Development, works with 100 entrepreneurs annually, and their Kiva-backed loan fund, AEC Rwanda Trustee Ltd, provides direct financing to entrepreneurs. Since launching in Rwanda in 2012, their model has already helped create hundreds of jobs, providing gainful employment to local people while contributing to the country’s economic and social development.
