Open Startup (OST) has been selected by the Dutch Good Growth Fund (DGGF) – Financing Local SMEs to pilot its innovative Result-Based Financing tool, marking a pivotal step in OST’s mission to deepen its impact across Africa.

This milestone partnership comes at a crucial time for OST, as it continues to champion entrepreneurship through its regional BRAIN initiative. By tying funding to tangible results, the six-month pilot boosts OST’s financial sustainability while supporting early-stage startups with investment-readiness training, stakeholder engagement, and international networking.

Backed by DGGF and implemented in collaboration with iGravity, this flexible funding model allows OST to stay focused on what truly matters, founders, outcomes, and lasting impact.

With over 400 startups supported since 2016 across Tunisia, Morocco, and Senegal, OST continues to build bridges between African talent and global opportunity. This pilot further strengthens OST’s role in shaping a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem driven by innovation, sustainability, and cross-border collaboration.
