What we do

Fuelling the digital rise of bold leaders.

What we do

Train. Connect. Advocate

We believe in the power of digital tools to overcome the challenges faced by early-stage founders working with limited resources or in challenging environments. Therefore, we equip founders with digital and business skills to overcome resource challenges, we connect them with others and advocate for them.

Three activity pillars

Capacity Building

We support small business owners and community leaders by helping them learn how to use digital tools for business development and local impact.

Collaboration

We connect creatives across Africa and the African diaspora to share knowledge, collaborate, and co-create local social innovation projects.

Advocacy

We represent the voices of young digital entrepreneurs from Africa and its diaspora at global conferences and policy-level discussions.

Methodology

We believe in the power of digital tools to overcome the challenges faced by early-stage founders working with limited resources or in challenging environments. Therefore, we equip founders with digital and business skills to overcome resource challenges, launch sustainable projects, and turn creative ideas into professional ventures.

Meetups

These meetups connect projects and businesses active in Africa with people keen to learn about local social innovation projects.

 

Workshop

In our workshops, we teach participants how to implement ideas, manage their early finances, create business objectives, and more.

Speaking engagements, partnerships, and sponsoring

Carrying the voice of our community, we participate in dialogues on digital entrepreneurship and youth at an International level. 

New in 2025

We will launch our innovative online learning platform designed for creatives and community leaders eager to develop new skills and amplify their impact.
