NextechCzar Startup Incubation Program in Nigeria (Funding, Mentoring, Market Access): Moolu Venture Lab and partners have launched his NextechCzar, an incubation event initiative for startups in Nigeria.

NextechCzar’s main goal is to identify, evaluate, promote and finance the next generation of iconic innovative solutions that can stimulate economic growth, increase national productivity and create job opportunities.

This initiative aims to encourage and foster creativity in the digital field and support new solutions that are cost-effective, scalable and innovative and can bring about positive change.

Who should apply?

NextechCzar focuses on technology-enabled companies in key sectors such as financial services, agriculture, health, education, circular economy, e-mobility, e-commerce, markets, renewables, energy and climate. These areas were selected because innovations in these areas can have a significant impact on the Nigerian economy. Applications from innovative companies in these fields will be evaluated by a panel of experts.
The program consists of 2 titles. The early stage track of innovative startups that have not yet completed product market validation and the growth stages of startups after they are profitable.

If you are a female-led founder, we encourage you to apply.

The initiative is a multi-year initiative of her Moolu Venture Lab, which supports aspiring Nigerian innovators with the aim of fostering the growth of the digital economy. Participating startups will be provided with capital after the program ends.
