Seedstars Academy Lagos: Cycle 3

Seedstars is a global organisation with headquarter in Switzerland and a local presences in 60+ emerging markets. We connect stakeholders within these ecosystems, build companies from scratch with our public and private partners and invest in the top entrepreneurs. Through our different activities of startup scouting, company building and acceleration programs we now have access to 1’500+ entrepreneurs, investors, incubators, corporates and government officials.

It’s very important to us that the candidates share our conviction of bootstrapping and love of the web/tech world, you should have an intuitive feel for what works and what doesn’t online! Keep it simple and keep it lean is our mission so we are not flexible when it comes to cultural fit.

We started the Seedstars Academy because we wanted to impact people’s lives and give them the skills to become entrepreneurs. We are in need of talented & hungry change makers who want to change the world.

Candidates that make it through our screening process are invited to participate in a free, 2 day bootcamp led by Seedstars network mentors & partners. After the bootcamp and if you are selected, you will be invited to join the paid program.

The program lasts 24 weeks in Lagos, Nigeria. It starts with a 12 weeks fully-immersive program. After that, you will have 12 weeks of hands-on experience to gain a practical and concrete vision of a tech startup by experimenting, launching or building MVPs.
