Cohort 9 Info Session: Food Systems

​Applications for Jasiri Cohort 9 close on 12 October 2026. This is the last chance to ask us anything before you submit.

​What this session is for

​Bring whatever you want clarified. Whether you need an idea before you apply, what the thirteen months actually look like, how co-founders come together, what happens after you submit, or anything in the application itself that you are unsure about. If you have started and are stuck on something, this is the place to raise it.

​The Jasiri team will be there to answer directly.

​Who this is for

​Builders across Ethiopia, Kenya and Rwanda who are thinking about applying to Cohort 9. You do not need an idea. You need domain depth, the ability to see opportunities where others see problems, and the resilience to build a scalable venture in food systems.

​When

​Friday 9 October, 5pm EAT / 4pm CAT.
