A founding cohort gives the Club instant credibility
Founding Members are the institutions and individuals who lend their name, network, and early support to the launch, and who are permanently recognised as co-builders of the platform.
Three waves
Wave 1 — Anchor (6–10 founders)
High-credibility Dutch and Cameroonian companies, senior diaspora entrepreneurs, and at least one academic institution. They co-sign the founding charter and seed initial resources.
Wave 2 — Sector (15–20 founders)
Representatives across the six focus sectors to ensure balanced coverage and chair the sector committees.
Wave 3 — Ecosystem (open cohort)
SMEs, professionals, students, and institutional partners who join before the inaugural flagship event and benefit from founding-cohort recognition.
What founding members receive
- Permanent “Founding Member” designation.
- Priority representation on the Advisory Board and sector committees.
- Prominent visibility at the inaugural flagship event.
- First access to trade missions and investment showcases.
