Ask HN: Alternatives to YC?

Hi guys.

Are there any other YC type entities that invest in startups outside the USA?

I am based in East Africa (though my product is a consumer SaaS targeting the international market)

I applied to YC for S24 but didn't even get an interview. I feel like its just too competitive (about 30k applications)

I will apply again for W25 though. While I improve my project.

Meanwhile I was wondering if there are any other accelerators that invest in early stage consumer SaaS products (targeting an international market but with a team based in East Africa)

My needs of money are for infrastructure costs to get the ball rolling & build serious traction.

What do you recommend? Any opportunities you think I should apply for?

My email is [email protected] incase you want to send me something
