Core Expertise

  1. Incubation Programs: AyaHQ specializes in running structured incubation programs that provide startups with mentorship, funding, and technical resources to develop blockchain-based solutions. Programs like Velociti8 focus on helping early-stage founders build their MVPs within eight weeks. AyaHQ also collaborates with global organizations like the Lisk Foundation to enable startups to create decentralized applications (dApps) and access seed funding of up to $20,000.
  2. Hackathons: AyaHQ is an expert in organizing hackathons across Africa that inspire developers and entrepreneurs to build innovative Web3 solutions. We have organized 15 hackathons and disbursed over $70,000 to builders to date. These events provide participants with mentorship, networking opportunities, and funding prospects.
  3. Builder Hubs: AyaHQ operates builder hubs in Accra, Ghana, and Kilifi, Kenya, which serve as both residential facilities and walk-in co-working spaces designed for collaboration, networking, and innovation. These hubs are equipped with high-speed internet, stable electricity, modern workspaces, and serene environments that enable productivity. They host builder residencies, community meetups, workshops, and tech events to inspire growth.
