Growing the Onchain Builder Economy to unlock innovation and mass adoption across Africa.

AyaHQ is a leading platform dedicated to driving blockchain and Web3 innovation across Africa by leveraging its expertise in incubation programs, hackathons, and builder hubs.

With a strong focus on nurturing talent, fostering collaboration, and supporting startups, AyaHQ empowers African innovators to create impactful solutions that address local and global challenges.

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.
