About ZidiFlow
ZidiFlow is a Nairobi based platform that helps early stage founders in Africa prepare to raise, find capital and understand their markets.
Why we exist
Early founders rarely get structured feedback before they raise. Opportunities are scattered across channels and often reach founders late. Most coverage reports what was raised rather than why.
ZidiFlow addresses all three, and holds every service to the same standards.
What we do
- Founder clinicsPaid and free working sessions with investment professionals for founders at the earliest stages.
- OpportunitiesA free weekly digest of funding calls, fellowships, grants and roles. Organisations can list opportunities with us.
- InsightsEssays, interviews and deal notes by investors and operators, published on Substack.
Standards
- Original workEvery piece we publish is created for ZidiFlow.
- Verified at sourceEvery opportunity links to the official call and is checked before it runs. Every figure in our analysis links to where it came from.
- Conflicts disclosedWriters and clinic leads state any interest they hold in the companies or funds involved.
- Sponsored content labelledOrganisations may pay to feature a listing. Featured listings are always labelled and never influence our analysis.
- Corrections made openlyWhen we get something wrong, we fix it and note the correction and its date.
- Editorial ownershipEditorial and listing decisions are made by the ZidiFlow team. These standards were last reviewed in October 2026.
How we are funded
ZidiFlow is funded by founder clinics, programme partnerships and featured listings. The digest and Insights are free to readers.
