TEF and CcHUB have been in partnership since 2012 to award pre-seed grants of $5,000 to 20 technology ideas/ventures targeted at typical social challenges faced by the average Nigerian. By focusing on the early stages of high-impact, results-oriented ventures, the pre-seed funding supports experimentation and prototype development in order to accelerate the adoption of the solutions. Each technology venture then has the potential to become a self-sustaining profitable social enterprise.
Over the course of the year, the partnership has given a head start to some of Nigeria’s up and coming novel technology start-ups.
These include
- BudgIT (www.yourbudgIT.com)
- Efiko (www.efiko.com.ng)
- Traclist (www.traclist.com)
- Naijateenz (www.naijateenz.com.ng)
- Jobs In Nigeria (www.jobsinnigeria.com.ng)
- Varsoft Media Library (www.varsoftng.com)
- Tiketmobile (www.tiketmobile.com.ng)
As part of the visit, 3 new ideas will pitch for grants while 3 will present progress on their start-ups. There will also be a Q & A session with Tony Elumelu, the industrious business mogul and leading proponent of Africapitalism. Light refreshments will follow on the CcHUB rooftop with a beautiful view of the Lagos metropolis.
This event is strictly by invitation. To receive an invite, kindly send an email to info@cchubnigeria.com.
