As an organization, we believe and are working towards converting Africa’s demographic asset into an economic dividend. Listen to the President of African Development Bank Group, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, speak passionately about the potential of Africa’s youth.
关于我们
LeadX is an initiative with a bold vision: to transform Africa by empowering its greatest resource – its young and dynamic population. In a continent boasting the fastest growing and largest youth demographic in the world, nearly 500 million working age individuals according to the World Economic Forum, LeadX recognizes the immense potential that lies untapped. We believe harnessing this potential is not just an opportunity, but a necessity. Fueling individual ambitions and societal progress requires a multi-pronged approach. LeadX addresses this through: ● Opportunities: We seek to connect young people with jobs, networks, and communities that provide platforms for their talents to flourish. Think internships with leading companies, mentorship programs with established professionals, and peer-to-peer networks across borders. ● Skills and knowledge: We seek to equip our youth with the market-relevant skills they need to thrive in the current and future job landscape. Training programs focus on employability, adaptability, and career growth, ensuring they're not just qualified, but prepared for dynamic environments. ● Direction: We help our youth find their vision and personal purpose. Leadership development programs foster critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and a strong sense of social responsibility, guiding them to become not just successful individuals, but impactful leaders. ● Livelihood: Beyond mere jobs, we aim to secure for our youth meaningful livelihoods that translate into financial stability and the ability to make a difference. Entrepreneurship training, financial literacy programs, and advocacy for fair wages and work conditions pave the way for a future where success goes beyond just a paycheck. By weaving these elements together, LeadX empowers Africa's youth to build their own lives, contribute to vibrant societies, and drive the continent's prosperity.

This past week, during Mentor Marvel, we had Thibaut Picard, Investment Manager at Axian Group join us for a Q&A session. The conversation was centered on the importance of mentorship, investment, startup growth, and establishing a framework for exits in driving Africa's growth and prosperity. Thibaut Picard further discussed the challenges and opportunities in driving startup exits, the growth phase for a startup, the importance of focusing on profitability and establishing a sustainable business model, and the various approaches to valuing startups. Differences between working for a corporate venture capital (CVC) firm and a traditional venture capital (VC) fund, were explored, highlighting the unique support and resources that CVCs can offer startups.
