Tunisia's startup scene just got a powerful new backer. Local venture capital firm 216 Capital has teamed up with Silicon Valley innovation giant Plug and Play to launch a six-month accelerator designed to push homegrown startups onto the global stage.
Called the 216 Capital Venture Accelerator , the program will take in up to 20 startups, offering them EUR 50 K in seed funding, with the chance to secure follow-on investment if they stand out.
Founders are also expected to gain access to tailored mentorship from international investors and coaches, alongside direct integration into Plug and Play's global ecosystem of venture capitalists, mentors, and corporate partners.
