Head and Heart Philanthropy Launches Mosaic Genius Tech Studio for Tech Entrepreneurs in Africa

"The genius on the continent is unmatched and building this new bridge across the diaspora is exciting."

The accelerator, Mosaic Genius Tech Studio, will support entrepreneurs with tools and resources to grow their businesses through access to training and finding capital to scale their companies, Tech Trends reports.
