What to Expect

The Pollinate Potluck: Sub-Saharan Africa Edition is a 3-day immersive and in-person gathering of impact incubators, accelerators,  and entrepreneur support organizations from across the region. It’s part of our broader series of regional convenings across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa—designed to surface real-world challenges and spark bold collaboration within our community.

We know the surface challenges well—funding, team capacity, measurement. But beneath the surface lie deeper complexities: navigating power dynamics with funders, building trust-based partnerships, retaining staff, and managing burnout in resource-constrained settings. That’s exactly why we’re coming together in Nairobi, July 1–3, to reflect, recharge, and co-create.

This Potluck will offer capacity-building workshops, peer-led learning, regionally rooted immersion visits, and space to dream forward. Together, we’ll design smarter solutions that speak to our lived experience and build a stronger, more connected support system for the entrepreneurs we serve.

What’s Included

This Potluck will offer:

• Capacity-building workshops
• Peer-led learning
• Regionally rooted immersion visit
• Safe and honest spaces to unpack tough challenges
• Moments to reconnect with purpose, build relationships, and share generously

Whether you’re showing up solo, bringing your team, or eager to exchange ideas, you’ll be part of a regional support system for those who support entrepreneurs.
