Dual Support: Funding and Tailored Mentorship
Generation Entrepreneurs offers a comprehensive value proposition, structured around two essential pillars:
1. Substantial Funding
Investment can reach up to 20 MDHS per project. This funding is provided through equity and quasi-equity, in exchange for a minority stake by CDG Invest.

- Bank debts without personal guarantee.

Beyond capital, the program ensures tailored support from dedicated experts. This support begins from the pre-investment phase and continues throughout the investment lifecycle. It covers crucial aspects for business growth:
- Operational and strategic steering.
- Proactive identification of growth drivers.
- Effective risk management.
- Introduction of best industry practices.
- Implementation of high-performance management tools.
