How it works
Amorcia connects African founders with backers and mentors, on the continent and across the diaspora. Here is exactly what happens, from campaign to payout.
Launch or discover
A founder creates their campaign through a guided flow: idea, funding model, goal, milestones, story, identity verification. A backer, meanwhile, explores projects by country, sector or model.
Back it with confidence
Mobile money first: Wave, Orange Money, M-Pesa, MoMo, then card or Apple Pay for the diaspora. Fees are shown before payment, never after. For the diaspora, the exchange rate is locked at the moment of contribution.
Impact, released by milestone
Funds do not leave in one block. They are held in escrow and released milestone by milestone, when the founder provides proof of what has been delivered. You see where every unit goes.
The five models
A single project can combine several. The founder chooses, and it is shown on their page.
- Donation
- You give with nothing expected in return. The simplest and fastest.
- Reward
- You receive a product or perk, based on the tier you choose.
- Loan
- You advance funds, repaid on terms shown in advance.
- Investment
- You take a stake and share in the project's growth.
- Mentoring
- You give time and expertise. No money is involved.
What if a project doesn't reach its goal?
The founder chooses between two rules when creating their campaign. Under all or nothing, contributions are refunded if the goal is not met. Under keep it all, the founder keeps what was raised, and milestones adjust accordingly. The rule applied is shown on each project page, before you contribute.
