Aurora Start-up Accelerator Fifth in-class session

28.08.25

On 19th August 2025, our Aurora Start-up Accelerator participants gathered at Aurora House, Freetown, for the fifth in-class session focused on Peer-to-Peer Networking. It was an inspiring day filled with energy and collaboration as entrepreneurs pitched their businesses, shared lessons learned, and reviewed their goals.

The session provided a great opportunity for participants to connect, exchange feedback, and celebrate progress so far. Everyone also discussed next steps and refined their action plans, leaving motivated and ready to tackle the next phase of their entrepreneurial journey.

We’re excited to see how these ideas will continue to grow and can’t wait to support our participants in turning their plans into impact.
