The Harambe Entrepreneur Alliance is a US-based business network for African entrepreneurs that provides funding, university scholarships and a support ecosystem.

The Alliance was founded by Okendo Lewis-Gayle and is supported by Cisco and the Oppenheimer Generations Foundation, amongst others. Members of the Harambe Alliance have raised over $500 million from Google Ventures, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and Alibaba to support their ventures.

The organization's name is derived from the Swahili word Harambee, which means, "working together towards a common purpose".
