As pontuações concentram-se em valores altos, pelo que a posição dentro do catálogo é muitas vezes mais reveladora do que o número isolado.
Evidence of impact / measured results2/3
Multiple independent outlets (TechCabal, TechPoint Africa, Rest of World) report consistent, specific figures — 120+ businesses, 1,000+ jobs, $700k+ follow-on funding — though none derive from an independent audit or RCT.
Transferability / demonstrated replication1/3
The accelerator-plus-equity-fund model mirrors designs used elsewhere in Africa, but no evidence of formal replication of the 249Startups model itself was found.
Scalability1/3
The organisation had scaled from acceleration to a dedicated $500k equity fund (Rhino Investments) by 2022, but that growth trajectory was abruptly reversed by the 2023 war.
Sustainability / continuity0/3
Operations shut down completely for a month and the team dispersed across three countries when war broke out in April 2023, showing the model had no continuity plan for conflict risk.
Innovation2/3
Rhino Investments was reported as Sudan's first dedicated early-stage equity fund, a genuine first for the local ecosystem.
Inclusiveness / equity1/3
No evidence was found of specific targeting of women, refugees or other underserved groups in 249Startups' own programming.
Multi-stakeholder collaboration2/3
The accelerator connected Sudanese founders to international investors (Y Combinator, Global Founders Capital, Launch Africa), a real multi-stakeholder funding bridge.
