How Seed Works For Founders

A clearer way for founders to get discovered.

Seed gives African founders a structured startup profile, ranking, views, and analytics so investors can understand your company faster.

From draft profile to public discovery.

Seed keeps the founder journey simple: create your profile, choose your tier, submit for review and track what happens next.

01

Choose Verification

Select the listing tier that fits your stage. Your tier controls badge visibility and how your profile is presented.

02

Create Your Startup Profile

Add your company details, category, stage, location, traction, team members, media links and founder contact information.

03

Submit For Vetting

Your startup profile goes through payment and admin review before it becomes visible to the public discovery feed.

04

Track Visibility

Once active, monitor your views, rank, contact clicks, investor bookmarks and startup performance from your dashboard.

Founder dashboard

Know how your startup is performing.

Seed helps founders understand visibility beyond just being listed. You can track how often investors discover your business, how your rank changes, and how many people take action.

Structured Startup Profile

Instead of a loose directory listing, Seed gives each startup a clear profile that investors can scan quickly and confidently.

02

Discovery-ready Presentation

Your logo, cover image, headline, location, category, stage, traction and documents are organized into a professional profile.

03

Ranking and Visibility Signals

Startups can be ranked by engagement signals such as contact requests, views and profile performance, helping the strongest profiles surface faster.

04

Investor-friendly Discovery

Investors can find, save and review startup profiles without asking founders to resend decks, bios and links repeatedly.
