Beyond Demo Day: how Orange Corners Ghana is tackling the middle mile

At Orange Corners, we know that launching a business is just the beginning. The real test? The messy middle – that post-acceleration phase where the spotlight dims, funding dries up and founders face the realities of scaling solo. That’s why, together with our implementing partner GrowthAfrica, we’re closing that critical gap in Ghana.

Our quarterly Growth Lab for Orange Corners Ghana alumni is designed to reconnect founders with what they need most:

🔸 Peer Learning – Honest, founder-led conversations where real problems meet real solutions.
🔸 Financial Acumen – With guidance from our OCIF Ghana partner Fidelity Bank, we tackled cash flow, funding access and financial strategy.
🔸 Strategic Reflection – A space to pause, reflect and retool for sustainable growth.

The insight is clear: long-term impact requires long-term support. One-off programmes don’t build resilience – ongoing, contextual and practical engagement does.

From first pitch to long-term profit, we’re building systems that evolve with entrepreneurs – because that’s how ecosystems thrive.
