COUSINS — Africa's Tech Network
COUSINS is the connective infrastructure for Africa's tech ecosystem — a platform that makes it discoverable, and a research practice that makes it legible. We help founders, operators, builders, and investors find the co-founder, collaborator, mentor, or investor their next step needs — starting in Ghana and expanding across the continent.
Intelligent matching, not random networking
Every introduction comes with a clear reason to connect: complementary skills, shared goals, and real collaboration potential. You see why a match makes sense before you reach out.
Who COUSINS is for
Startup founders looking for co-founders or talent, engineers and operators looking for their next opportunity, mentors, and investors looking for promising teams across African tech.
How it works
- Build your profile — tell COUSINS what you are building, what you are looking for, and what you bring.
- Our AI surfaces complementary people across the network, not just whoever posted recently.
- See exactly why each person fits before you say hello.
- Accept or pass, then message your matches directly.
