Terms of Service

Last updated: 12 October 2026

These terms apply when you use www.startup.africa or receive our emails. By using the website you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

What Startup.Africa is

Startup.Africa is an online reference library of guides, analysis and a deal archive on how African startups raise money, with optional email updates when we publish something new.

Information, not advice

Everything on Startup.Africa is general information for education. It is not financial, investment, legal, tax or accounting advice, and it does not take your circumstances into account. Nothing here is an offer or a recommendation to buy or sell any security or to invest in any company or fund.

Funding figures, laws, programmes and deadlines change. Every article shows the date it was published; check that it is current and confirm important facts with the original source or a qualified adviser before you act on them.

Accuracy and corrections

We work to get facts right and to link to our sources. If you find a mistake, email info@startup.africa and we will review it and correct it where needed.

Subscriptions

You can subscribe with your email address. We email you a one-time link to confirm, so there is no password. You can unsubscribe at any time with the link in every email. How we handle your information is explained in our privacy policy.

Using the website

Please do not:

• use the website in a way that breaks the law or infringes anyone's rights;
• try to gain unauthorised access to the website, its systems or other people's subscriptions;
• copy the website in bulk, or crawl it in a way that degrades it for other readers;
• interfere with its security or normal operation.

Our content

The articles, guides, glossary, design and logo on Startup.Africa belong to Startup.Africa or are used with permission. You are welcome to quote short extracts with clear credit to Startup.Africa and a link to the original article. Republishing full articles, or using our content commercially, needs our written permission: ask at info@startup.africa.

If you believe something on the website infringes your copyright, email us with the details and a link to the page, and we will look into it promptly.

Links to other websites

We link to sources and other websites for reference. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or practices.

Liability

The website is provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, Startup.Africa is not liable for any loss arising from your use of the website or from relying on its content, including decisions to invest, raise or lend money. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have that cannot be limited by law, including under the Consumer Protection Act, 2008.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and continuing to use the website after a change means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa.
