What You’ll Experience with Capstone Viability: From Ambition to Bankability

What You’ll Experience with Capstone Viability: From Ambition to Bankability

 At Capstone Viability, we coach African entrepreneurs to transform their ideas and businesses into bankable projects that meet the standards of banks, investors, and development finance institutions.

Our process is not theoretical. It’s grounded in decades of experience with African markets and emerging economies, where opportunities are abundant but capital flows only to well-prepared projects.

The Entrepreneur’s Journey with Capstone Viability:

 

1. Project Assessment & Diagnosis

You begin by submitting your project application. Our expert jury reviews your file and identifies what is missing or weak from a bankability perspective — financial modeling, governance, compliance, or risk structure.

What you gain: Clear feedback on where your project stands today.

 

2. Bankability Coaching

Through guided coaching sessions, you’ll learn:

  • How to build financial models investors trust.
  • How to present your business plan in a way banks recognize.
  • How to address risk factors unique to African markets (currency, political, operational).
  • How to position your project for local banks, international investors, and Development Financial Institutions (DFI).

What you gain: The skills, tools, and confidence to present your project at a global standard.

 

3. Jury Review & Interview

Once coached, you resubmit your project. Our jury evaluates again and invites you to an interview, where you present your improved project and respond to questions as you would in front of real investors or credit committees.

What you gain: Real-world practice in defending your project, with constructive feedback.

 

4. Outcome & Roadmap

After the interview, you’ll either:

  • Be confirmed as bankable (ready to approach investors and banks), or
  • Receive tailored advice to strengthen your application for the next round.

What you gain: Either immediate investor-readiness or a clear roadmap to get there.
