Before you apply
Useful answers.
Can I join if I only have an idea?
Not yet. Founders Link is for entrepreneurs who have moved beyond the idea stage and have an MVP or operating business.
Is membership limited to a fixed number per hub?
No. Hubs are intentionally curated to protect the quality of the experience, but membership is not defined by a fixed ten-person limit.
Do I have to be based in Lagos?
No. The pilot begins in Nigeria and is designed to grow through one local hub per city before expanding across the continent.
What does membership cost?
The standard membership is $100 per year. Selected founders joining during the first year receive full access with no membership fee for that year.
