Last year, after almost two decades of investing in and mentoring early-stage startups, Techstars launched its accelerator program in Nigeria in partnership with ARM, the biggest non-banking financial institution in the country. The premise of the Lagos-based program, ARM Labs Lagos Techstars Accelerator Program, is similar to its other programs in Dubai, Canada etc.; participants undergo rigorous training sessions and meet fleets of established business people and titans of industry. They learn how to raise funds, build great products, and scale their businesses. For its inaugural cohort in Lagos, its focus was fintech and property tech companies. In March, it had its Demo Day, which became one of the biggest gatherings of members of the Nigerian ecosystem, rivalled only so far by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s visit to Lagos just a few weeks ago. It’s currently accepting applications for a new class, its 2023 cohort, with its tentacles expanded. This year, it focuses on early-stage Africa-based startups with a defined MVP. Application closes on the 9th of August.
