What is the Commonwealth Startup Fellowship?
This six-month programme is designed to fuel high-potential startups through intensive in-person and online learning. You’ll gain essential skills, tailored coaching, and access to a powerful global network to help you overcome barriers and scale up your business. The programme begins in March 2025 with a fully funded two-week bootcamp in Accra, Ghana, plus ongoing online support with business coaching, expert-led sessions, and valuable peer connections.
One founder from each selected team will participate in-person, while co-founders and team members can access the remote portion, connecting with global mentors and industry experts from across the Commonwealth.
In addition to the training and mentorship, participating teams can apply for financial support from the Fellowes Fund, a pot of £35,000 in equity free grants. This funding is available to cover business related costs to help you develop and grow your startup.
Select participants will be invited to a Capstone in London, UK, where they will have the chance to pitch to investors and industry leaders.
