Angel Network Botswana: Unlocking Growth for Local Startups with Funding and Mentorship. Entrepreneurs in Botswana with innovative ideas and scalable businesses now have a valuable ally in Angel Network Botswana (ANB), a community of individual investors committed to supporting homegrown startups.

ANB connects promising entrepreneurs with business angels who invest their personal funds, time, and expertise into growth-oriented ventures. The network aims to strengthen Botswana’s entrepreneurial landscape by not only providing access to capital but also fostering mentorship and learning opportunities for early-stage businesses.

Through ANB, selected startups gain access to critical funding that can propel their operations forward. But the support doesn’t end there. Entrepreneurs also benefit from structured learning programmes that enhance their business knowledge, helping them build sustainable and competitive enterprises.

ANB’s casual networking platforms also create a space for founders to meet, share ideas, and connect with mentors and peers. This approach ensures that entrepreneurs are not just funded but are also supported holistically as they navigate the challenges of building a business.

Recognizing the vital role that entrepreneurship plays in Botswana’s economic future, ANB members are driven by both a passion for innovation and the goal of generating positive, risk-adjusted returns from their investments.

The network has partnered with key institutions including the Botswana Development Corporation Limited, Stanbic Bank Botswana, Botswana Digital & Innovation Hub, Jozi Angels, and the African Business Angel Network.
