Our mission

Economic power is protection

Across the continent, queer and allied founders build extraordinary businesses while navigating risk that others never face. We believe durable economic participation — capital, customers, and community — is one of the most effective forms of protection there is.

QACC Africa exists to make that participation practical: a trusted directory, a marketplace, a jobs board, training, and investment infrastructure, all designed privacy-first so members choose exactly how visible they are.

What guides us

Values we operate by

Safety first

Privacy-by-design controls let every member decide exactly how visible they are, from fully public to name-withheld.

Dignity & respect

We center the humanity of our members and build tools that treat them as founders, employers, and investors.

Pan-African by design

Country chapters, local languages, and regional context shape everything — this is not a one-market platform.

Real economic power

We measure success in contracts won, jobs created, and capital deployed — not vanity metrics.

Allyship that acts

Allied businesses and corporates are partners with clear standards, not passive supporters.

Radical transparency

Sample content is labelled, pricing is administrator-set, and members always know how their data is used.

    A pilot directory and peer network launched, proving that visibility could be both valuable and safe.
