- 85% of the jobs created were for women

- The top 20% of businesses doubled their jobs, increased revenue by 66%, and created 81% of all jobs

Can you build a thriving business without networks, funding, or formal infrastructure?

Thousands of township entrepreneurs are doing just that and still being overlooked.
At our Kasipreneur launch, we brought together bold thinkers to ask: what would it take to truly support these business builders?

Huge thanks to Adam Solomons (PayABill), Sicelo Masuku (NSCA), and Trevor Waller (Two Ways Academy) for grounding the conversation in action, not theory.

Our Story

AMI was founded in 2014 on a vision for a million skilled managers and entrepreneurs building thriving businesses, creating jobs and getting Africa moving. While there is no shortage of talent in Africa, we believe there is a critical lack of business and management skills. Most traditional training solutions are expensive, ineffective and ill-suited to dynamic Africa markets. We created AMI because we believe there is a better way to learn, and that with the right tools and habits, entrepreneurs and managers across the continent can be empowered to drive Africa forward.
