Introduction

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 Nigerian startup ecosystem.

Building on Past Success

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

Programme Structure and Schedule

The programme will commence with a three-day physical boot camp in Lagos. Following this, participants will engage in a twelve-week virtual accelerator, designed to provide comprehensive training and mentorship. The programme will culminate in a demo day and mixer event, where startups will pitch for additional funding and network with investors and ecosystem partners.
