Our work

Practical support for the people building startups

Every startup journey is different. ZISFA brings together learning, relationships and opportunities that help founders make informed progress at each stage of building a business.

A mentoring conversation

Training and founder development

Workshops, learning sessions and shared resources help founders strengthen the skills involved in building and growing a company. Topics may include product development, customers, sales, finance, leadership and business operations.

Mentorship and peer learning

Founders learn from people who have faced similar questions. ZISFA creates opportunities for peer exchange and mentorship, connecting founders with relevant experience and guidance.

Networking and collaboration

Meet other founders, share knowledge and discover opportunities to work together. ZISFA events and member connections help turn conversations into practical relationships.

Visibility and recognition

We create ways to share founder stories, highlight local innovation and recognise contributions to startup growth and the ecosystem.

Founder voice and ecosystem insight

We bring founder perspectives into conversations that affect startups and contribute to a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities in Zimbabwe’s startup landscape.

Early-stage startup support

ZISFA works with partners to expand access to catalytic support for promising early-stage startups. Opportunities and participation details are shared when programmes are available.
