The 2018 cohort companies were Accounteer, KoloPay, Tradebuza and PowerCube with 3 companies, Accounteer, Tradebuza and PowerCube, receiving $25,000 in investment from Itanna. All companies also received training and mentorship in the form of UI/UX Sessions, legal and HR workshops, classes on technology, business and marketing, reviews of revenue/pricing model and operational metrics, mentorship sessions and guest lectures from some of Africa’s most renowned entrepreneurs and business icons. The 2018 edition ended with a demo day, which provided opportunities for the cohort companies to present their businesses to investors.

Applications for the 2019 accelerator programme are open from 18 March 2019 to 19 April 2019. Itanna will be increasing the number of cohort companies for the 2019 programme to 10 and the investment amount to $30,000.
