Jasiri, an initiative of Allan & Gill Gray Philanthropies, is an African venture builder and accelerator that empowers early-stage startups. Operating across Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, and Ethiopia, Jasiri de-risks the entrepreneurial lifecycle through a two-tiered framework: Jasiri Talent Investor, a fully funded 13-month founder-first program that selects exceptional individuals pre-idea and pre-team, guiding them through problem validation to commercial launch. Jasiri Growth Accelerator, a program designed to scale existing startups with demonstrated product-market fit, bridging the early-stage funding gap.
