Africa's Largest Startup Campus
Powering The Next Generation of Entrepreneurs.

The Google Startup Bootcamp, taking place from November 4 to 9, 2024, is part of the Google for Startups Black Founders Fund initiative, established in 2020. This initiative has provided over $30 million in equity-free funding to support Black-led startups across Africa, Brazil, Europe, and the United States, fostering community growth and generational change.

 

Participants in the bootcamp will benefit from intensive workshops, mentorship sessions, and networking opportunities. Recipients of the Black Founders Fund also receive ongoing support, including Google Cloud credits and expert guidance, empowering them through every phase of their startup journey.

The Startup Huddle event provides a platform for entrepreneurs to discover solutions to the challenges they face through purposeful engagement with a broad array of voices from the local community, who can also share their experiences.

 

Startups are given context about the topic at hand, which includes tools, tricks and techniques from experts. This can take up to 10min. Thereafter, they will be given 2-3 minutes to tell us about some of the challenges they have encountered in their business venture. Participants then get into small groups where they Huddle for a 10-minute -interactive activity. Each group selects a team member or two to share what they discussed. The Huddle will close off having equipped the techies with practical and value-add experience they can use in their startup journey.
