It takes an ecosystem to raise a startup. Well-developed, context-specific policies help young entrepreneurs and their businesses thrive. In several countries Orange Corners has supported the creation of Startup Acts, which set out the legal framework, fiscal incentives, and access to markets, finance and support for startups and founders. The ultimate end goal? Real, systemic change.
In the DRC for example, Orange Corners worked with I4Policy, the Congolese government, incubators, the private sector, startups, youth and many other stakeholders to co-create the DRC Startup Act. In Iraq we have piloted the development of a Roadmap2Startup Act, which could lead to a future Startup Act.
