What is AfriOn?
AfriOn is a network of people interested in doing business together in African markets. From Buenos Aires to Addis Ababa to Beijing, our software caters to all local and international users looking to commercialise their ideas in Africa. We’ve cut the middle man out so you can browse our project library yourself and then talk business with your newly-made contacts from directly inside the application.
Whether you’re looking to invest in a project, or for someone to invest in your project, you’ll find what you’re looking for on AfriOn. And that’s not all, you can also offer and receive free mentoring, and meet your next cofounder or managing director. What are you waiting for?
For Investors
Are you are looking to invest in African projects for a handsome return? Are you tired of the limited to non-existent stock market? Have you exhausted the pool of projects you can find through friends, family, and personal connections? Have you lost enough hours trying to find opportunities online? If you answered yes to any of the above then AfriOn is made for you. Create your account and review the available business plans.
You can specify the amount of investment, and choose the type of business and at which stage you want to invest. Have full control by choosing the countries and industries you’re interested in and much more. Our detailed filters will help you find tailored investment opportunities.
For Entrepreneurs
Did your local lender turn you down for the nth time because they don’t serve startups? Are you looking to pitch your growing business to multiple international investors at once? Do you need a cofounder but you don’t know where to meet one? If you replied yes to any of the above, then AfriOn is your new favourite tool. Pitch your project now using our business plan template to thousands of interested collaborators.
Although a huge opportunity, growing a business in Africa is not an easy task. From ideation to expansion, the professional services infrastructure just doesn’t provide you with the key contacts you need. AfriOn helps you find these contacts and make a great first impression.
Why use AfriOn?
Before AfriOn, you had to know someone who knows someone who knows someone else to find your next startup, investment, cofounder, or mentor. Alternatively, you needed an agency with exuberant fees and long delays to act as the intermediary. No more, we say! In a rapidly digitalising world, every person interested in business should have access to a quality network, regardless of their geographical location.
The AfriOn application is available to you from anywhere, at any time, and on all devices. You only need an internet connection and a web browser to access AfriOn. As for your portable devices, Android or Apple, smartphone or tablet, the AfriOn application is available for download for free.

Go beyond the competition
We are a fully digital, self-service, Africa-dedicated platform.
The world’s eyes are turning to Africa, as its markets are enjoying growth rates among the highest. It’s now a race to envision and fund the companies of tomorrow. However, limited access to business development tools remains a key barrier. Entrepreneurs lack a dedicated channel to meet investors, cofounders, and advisors. While investors struggle to find and filter opportunities.
The issue? Key contacts are only found via personal introductions. Try our solution to access those opportunities. AfriOn is available to all those wishing to do business in African countries, and provides an infinite number of opportunities. Now that you’ve found the right tool, don’t get left behind!
