ScaleUp Africa

Accra, Ghana

    • Mission

    The dominant models of global philanthropy are broken; they do not achieve what they say they exist to do. At ScaleUp Africa, we inspire and equip philanthropists and advisors to adopt and invest in approaches that have been proven to be more effective. These approaches: -- Promote venture philanthropy based on business principles. -- Connect donors as collaborators with local communities. We help philanthropists and advisors create scaleable, sustainable impacts across Africa and the USA. We do this via: -- Exclusive membership -- Experiential learning -- Strategic partnerships

    About Us

    ScaleUp Africa was founded in 2020 by two Ghanaian female leaders who knew African philanthropy needed to change. They explored and proved successful ways to collaborate with global partners on locally-led projects to transform the livelihoods of women and youth. In 2022, one of the founding partners stepped aside from the ScaleUp venture; Amma Gyampo has continued to nurture and develop the vision and organization.

    Amma’s passion and expertise are in ecosystems as the power for social change. She is a multi-faceted leader working at the nexus of philanthropy, impact investing, locally-led development, and social entrepreneurship in West Africa. She is a respected and recognized leader in the region, frequently invited to speak at events and to the press, and recently appointed by her peers to be CEO of the Ghana Venture Capital & Private Equity Association (GVCA).
