About GIAC
Why we exist
The founders of Global Impact Accelerator Corp (GIAC) recognize that Africa is not poor—it is simply under-connected and under-financed. With vast natural resources and a new generation of entrepreneurs, the continent has untapped potential waiting to be unlocked.
Too many businesses fail, not because the ideas aren’t good, but because access is limited. Access to funding. Access to expertise. Access to the networks that fuel real growth.
GIAC was created to change that.
We are the pacesetter with a mission to transform the African continent by bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, and service providers into one powerful ecosystem.
Our story
GIAC was founded by a group of entrepreneurs and impact leaders who saw a recurring pattern: businesses were failing not just because they lacked money, but because they lacked clarity, mentorship, and strategy.
In fact, we realized only 38% of business failures were due to funding gaps. The other 62% were due to non-financial factors like poor execution, lack of vision, and inadequate support.
We knew Africa didn’t need another aid program. It needed an ecosystem. By combining coaching, mentorship, collaboration, and access to funding, the GIAC ecosystem was born to raise the success rate of entrepreneurs while delivering measurable returns for investors.
Our mission
GIAC exists to connect capital, expertise, and opportunity for sustainable growth in emerging markets. We accelerate opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors, and service providers so that ordinary people can thrive.
We don’t just want to fund businesses. We want to build an ecosystem that equips small and medium-sized companies with the tools, mentorship, and partnerships they need to navigate challenging environments and create lasting impact.
Our vision
Our vision is bold yet simple: to empower committed entrepreneurs and early investors with the knowledge, skills, and tools they need to achieve impactful outcomes.
For us, success isn’t just measured in balance sheets—it’s measured in lives transformed. It looks like a farmer in a remote African village is building a viable livelihood because someone believed in their idea, invested in their potential, and gave them a chance to thrive through the GIAC platform.
