Bantaba was born from a passion for Africa.

The platform is named after an ancient Manding word for a big tree under which elder’s of an African village would gather to make important decisions.

Like its origin, Bantaba platform serves as a digital meeting place that bridges the gap between Africa’s tech startup ecosystem and diaspora knowledge, capital and network.

Our mission is to build a future for Africans by empowering the African startup ecosystem.
