About the ALX Young Entrepreneurs Program
The ALX Young Entrepreneurs Program (YEP) is a 4-Week Sprint designed and taught by experienced entrepreneurs. Learn from those that have come before you and leave with a solid foundation from which you will refine, shape, and expand your business.
Africa is home to some of the world’s most forward-thinking entrepreneurs. Young Africans are proving that no matter the idea, or how simple a solution is, they are creating impactful change in the lives of others in communities around the globe.
With the ALX Young Entrepreneurs Program, they have made it their mission to support those who want to innovate in ways that will help their businesses thrive. Providing entrepreneurs with the know-how to move their companies to a new stage of growth is one more way they prove their commitment to creating 2M new opportunities for rising African talent across the continent by 2030.
