Numbers Don't Lie!
98.7% of startups don't raise capital, 90% won't survive, and less than 5% will ever break even — not because they lack vision, but because they were never designed to last. We're changing that.
The MSBM x CAPIS Incubator is built for practical entrepreneurs in emerging markets who need access to capital, coaching, and community.
This is about building real businesses that employ people and move economies.

The Problem
In Africa alone, SMEs make up over 90% of businesses and contribute to 80% of employment, yet they receive less than 5% of formal financing. It's the same across Asia, Latin America, and underserved pockets of Europe.
The MSBM x CAPIS Solution
Our Incubator Programme is a bold response to this illusion of scale. We're cultivating real-world entrepreneurs with viable businesses, backed by actual customers, scalable value, and measurable impact.
This programme isn't just about funding — it's about transforming business education into economic power.

Join a pan-African and global community of founders, funders, and mentors through the Entrepreneurship Social Network (ESN) — for collaboration, visibility, and shared opportunities.

By joining a Premium Partnership (up to 10 members) or Super Pact (up to 50 members), you can form strategic coalitions and access up to 50x the standard individual funding amount, along with eligibility for low-interest growth capital as your business expands.

VCFP FAQ

The Venture Capital Fund (VCF) is a specialized Fund established to cater for the business capital needs of VCFP clients. It is administered for the continuous expansion of capital and receives dual infusion of capital from a percentage of the VCFP enrollment fees and income from our real sector subsidiary investments.

There is a five year moratorium period between the subscription date and qualification date.
Over the course of the five year moratorium period subscribers receive training in financial management, personal development and business management. These trainings are received through periodic onsite and online seminars.
Your chance of receiving start-up capital is a hundred percent. Five years is all that stands between you and your dream business.
Premium Partnership is a registration option where two or more individual (not more than ten) subscribers merge their registration to maximize the total value of their seed fund.
After successfully completing your individual registration, go to your profile page and click on create premium partnership. Select the names of those you wish to enter into premium partnership with and click on the invite button. Note that to successfully create a premium partnership profile is dependent on the acceptance of the invitation to one or more of the other prospective partners.
Premium Partnership qualifying date is set to the date of the last qualifying subscriber in the partnership. In order words all of the partners must be qualified before the partnership can invoke their seeding funding entitlement.
Absolutely! The essence of Premium Partnership is to pull resources for a common business goal. Without having a common business objective this essence is ultimately defeated.
Super Pact is a registration option where a minimum of eleven and a maximum of fifty subscribers merge their registration to maximize their seed capital for a common business purpose.
It takes a minimum of eleven subscribers and a maximum of fifty subscribers to form a Super Pact.
Yes! The people forming a Super Pact must have the same business idea. This will enable them to pull together their seed capital towards achieving the idea.
The qualification date for seed capital of the Super Pact members is set to the date of the last qualifying subscriber of the Pact.
A qualified enrollee or prospective entrepreneur shall submit their business plan at the point of applying for seed capital (venture capital). Note that the Retail Venture Capital Department (RVCD) is there to assist you with development of your business plan and model and all necessary processes that will aid the success of the prospective business.
Having qualified, when you receive venture capital funding is dependent on the following factors: (a) When you apply; (b) Processing and assessment of your business plan by your Investment Advisor; (c) Completion of your requisite training in line with the specific business model of your interest.
Of course, learning how to create a business plan is an aspect of our entrepreneurial training program.
All you need to be a subscriber to the VCFP service is the ability to read and write.
You can access growth capital as often as your business needs it and as long as the business financials justifies it.
