Kenyan startups with proven products and revenue can now apply for the ninth round of the develoPPP Ventures program, which offers EUR 100,000 (about USD 113,000) in non-dilutive funding plus expert support to help them grow.

The program is funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and run in Kenya by DEG Impulse, VC4A, and Viktoria Ventures.

Startups eligible to apply must be registered and operating in Kenya, already making revenue, and ready to scale their business.

They must also secure matching funds from other investors to qualify for the grant. Applications for this funding round are open now and will close on June 30.

This program supports startups working on important issues like health, climate change, agriculture, education, and financial inclusion.

Along with funding, startups receive technical assistance to improve their chances of success.

The matching fund requirement encourages startups to bring in more investment, making them stronger and more prepared for growth.

By applying now, Kenyan startups have the chance to access capital and resources that can help them scale while contributing to Kenya’s development.

The program also connects them to international networks and investors, helping build a sustainable future for their businesses.
