Events | September 16, 2026

22 On Sloane is proud to announce the launch of KUMii, an AI-powered ecosystem digital platform designed to connect, equip and accelerate Africa’s MSMEs and startups.

Launched at Global Entrepreneurship Congress Africa (GEC+Africa) 2026, KUMii brings together entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, mentors, service providers and ecosystem partners on a single digital platform.

 

KUMii is designed to strengthen the entrepreneurship ecosystem by connecting businesses to the capital, markets, knowledge, expertise, tools and opportunities they need to build, grow and scale.

 

What Kumii Offers:

  • Access to Capital
    Connect with relevant funders, sponsors and investors based on your business profile, needs and growth stage.
  • Access to Markets
    Discover relevant tenders, buyer opportunities and procurement programmes matched to your business profile.
  • Mentorship & Advisory
    Access structured guidance and specialised expertise to strengthen your strategy, address business challenges and accelerate growth.
  • Learning Hub
    Access practical learning resources and tools to help you build, grow and scale your business.
  • Business Software
    Discover business software organised by category, helping you find the right digital tools and solutions for your business.
  • Business Readiness Hub
    Build credibility and funding readiness with practical tools to assess your financial health, generate investor-ready documents, model your business and connect to relevant opportunities.

 

Already Connecting Africa’s Entrepreneurs

 

Kumii has already registered more than 4000 startups and MSMEs, demonstrating the growing demand for a more connected and accessible digital entrepreneurship ecosystem.

 

Rather than creating another standalone programme, KUMii functions as connective digital infrastructure for the entrepreneurship ecosystem – enabling existing initiatives, organisations and opportunities to work better together while providing MSMEs with a single point of access to the resources and connections they need.

 

Why Launch Kumii at GEC+Africa?

The launch of KUMii at GEC+Africa 2026 is strategic. GEC+Africa brings together the very ecosystem that KUMii is designed to connect.

 

From investment and market access to mentorship, learning and business support, KUMii takes the connections and opportunities championed by GEC+Africa and extends them into a digital ecosystem that entrepreneurs can access beyond the congress.

 

KUMii is more than a platform. It is the digital infrastructure connecting Africa’s entrepreneurship ecosystem.
