Acceleration program | Past programme GIBE Want to work with us Pitch to us Partner with us GIBE was set up by Venture Garden Group as a vehicle to identify, impact, and impart knowledge to tech savvy young minds solving real African problems. The inaugural class of 2013 hosted a group of 11 brilliant startups and developed their technical, business, managerial, and strategic skills. These companies were equipped with the tools to become fully functional and investable businesses that could scale with trackable metrics. From this group GIBE discovered startups like PrepClass, Riby, and ESL, all of which are still in existence today and have graduated to become Greenhouse Capital portfolio companies with an additional seed round investment.
