By Tom Jackson on August 7, 2024 Hubs, West Africa

Nigerian startups have been invited to apply for the third edition of the Grooming Endowment Trust (GET) accelerator programme, which is dedicated to fostering innovation and economic growth within the startup ecosystem in Nigeria.

Implemented by Kick-off Africa, this year’s GET programme aims to build on the success of the two previous cohorts, where 20 startups received over NGN150 million (US$94,000) in equity-free funding and support resources.

The programme will kick off with a three-day physical boot camp in Lagos, followed by a twelve-week virtual accelerator, and concludes with a demo day and mixer event where startups will pitch for additional funding and engage with investors and ecosystem partners.

Applications are open here until August 11.
