SEED advisors offer knowledge of their respective industries and their functional expertise to support business coaches in developing customized and creative business solutions that will help African entrepreneurs and business leaders innovate and scale their companies.

As an advisor, you are making no up-front commitment other than to receive emails and contact from SEED staff and coaches regarding your expertise, interest, and availability.
