Viridian is an impact agency that designs and delivers programmes for finance-ready entrepreneurs, early-stage investors and entrepreneur support organisations across Africa’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our programmes act as a catalyst for these key economic actors, ultimately growing shared prosperity across Sub-Saharan Africa.
We’re proud to announce the release of our 2025 Impact Report!
Last year was one of growth and meaningful progress for Viridian. We designed and delivered several new investment-readiness programmes, and continued to develop and enhance the core programmes we’ve been running for years.
In 2025, our team trained a total of 122 finance-ready entrepreneurs across 80 businesses, recording $5.46M in funding raised. It truly was a year packed to the brim with impact.
Without further ado, we invite you to explore our 2025 Impact Report, where you’ll find the stories, insights, and milestones that shaped the year. We also take a walk down memory lane, reflecting on the people, partnerships, and moments that brought this work to life.
