Algeria

Algeria Venture, known as A-Venture, is the country’s first state-owned accelerator, making a proper mark in Algiers since launching. With heavy backing and collaborations (notably with Google for Startups), it’s all about nurturing local founders and helping early-stage startups land their first term sheet. Under CEO Sid Ali Zerrouki, A-Venture mixes practical mentorship, shared spaces, and a network of public and private partners. It’s a rock-solid route for those just starting out or trying to break into the wider VC funding scene.
