We're building a 25–30 person distributed team to recruit, support, and accelerate 40 women-led agribusiness ventures across Africa. This isn't volunteering — it's a performance-based fellowship with real pay, real credentials, and a direct path to a full-time role.
Earn a percentage of revenue you directly generate — sponsorships, ticket sales, applications sourced. Plus milestone bonuses for hitting targets.
Top-performing fellows get first-hire rights when paid roles open as Catalyst W scales. Your fellowship is your interview.
Official fellowship certificate, a LinkedIn-verifiable title, and a reference letter from AgriPro leadership — not a participation trophy.
Direct exposure to FAO, AfDB, corporate sponsors, and 40 women-led agribusiness founders at the Africa Food Futures Summit.
All active fellows attend the Africa Food Futures Summit in Kigali with travel support. Build relationships in person.
A hub-and-spoke model with a central director, 5 regional leads, and specialist fellows distributed across Africa.
No flat stipends. Fellows are compensated based on the revenue and results they generate — with bonuses for hitting milestones and first-hire rights at the top.
