The develoPPP Ventures programme supports young companies that are ready to scale innovative business models in emerging markets. Its goal is to help early-stage ventures grow while delivering measurable impact for local communities.
Focus
The programme targets ventures with innovative business models that can scale rapidly within their markets. Applicants should demonstrate strong market potential, a clear path to financial sustainability, and the ability to reach break-even within three years.
Management teams must also show proven expertise, operational readiness, and the capacity to drive business growth.
Funding details
Selected companies receive $100,000 in non-dilutive capital, with the opportunity for additional funding in a second phase for high-performing ventures.
To qualify, applicants must secure matching funds equal to the programme’s investment. These funds may come from external investors and can be raised up to six months before applying, provided they are still available when develoPPP Ventures disburses its support.
