“Sifr”—an Arabic word meaning zero—represents the beginning. It’s the blank slate, the space before the idea takes shape, before the pitch is perfected, before the first investor says yes. It’s the raw, powerful potential at the heart of every founder’s journey.
But Beyond Sifr is more than just the start. It’s about what comes next.
We exist to help startups—especially across Africa—move beyond that first step. We turn vision into structure, uncertainty into strategy, and compliance into confidence. From risk assessments to investor readiness, from regulatory clarity to operational excellence—Beyond Sifr provides the critical support needed to grow with intention and impact.
Because every game-changing business starts at zero—
But the ones that scale? They go Beyond Sifr.
We understand early-stage startups may not have the network and guidance they need to grow. That’s why Beyond Sifr exists—to bridge that gap.
From zero to scalable, we offer guidance, capital, and mentorship to help founders go beyond the start line and build something that lasts.
