Safaricom has launched the Spark Accelerator, a program to help bold, visionary founders grow and scale their startups. It targets early-stage, post-revenue startups in Kenya.

They will also gain market access through go-to-market support, exposure to Safaricom’s 30+ million customers, and connections to the partner network.
