Context
Finding capital is slow and unreliable. LocateFund gathers real listings with real deadlines in one place, so founders spend less time searching and more time growing.
I built it for small-to-medium businesses, founders and social impact organisations across Africa who need equity-free funding.
In two months it grew to 2,000 subscribers and more than 10,000 monthly visitors.
What I do
- Source opportunities from foundations, government agencies, accelerators and corporate funders.
- Review each listing for legitimacy, eligibility and deadline accuracy before it goes live.
- Tag listings by category, region, industry and stage so people can filter to what they qualify for.
- Keep the editorial independent of any single funder. People apply directly. No middlemen, no application fees, no commissions.
