SW Region Top 5 Nigerian startup developments in 2017 http://disrupt-africa.com/2017/12/top-5-nigerian-startup-developments-in-2017/ Yoruba-owned companies Andela’s landmark funding round How could we start with anything else? Coding school Andela announced in October it had secured US$40 million in Series C funding from a host of investors, taking its total venture funding to over US$80 million. The round was led by pan-African firm CRE Venture Capital (catch up with co-founder Pule Taukobong here), and will be used to fuel Andela’s pan-African expansion. A quick mention too for former Andela co-founder Iyinoluwa Aboyeji, whose new venture – payments startup Flutterwave – secured funding of its own in August, a US$10 million Series A round. CcHub expands its scope Nigerian incubator Co-Creation Hub (CcHub) had an even busier year than most, exhibited mainly by its European PitchDrive, held in partnership with Google. CcHub took 14 startups from across Africa to various European hubs to pitch to potential investors and partners. There were also two programmes launched in partnership with Union Bank, and a diaspora challenge, while the hub also signed a multinational partnership to boost STEM learning across Africa. You can read about how Bosun Tijani turned CcHub into such a beacon of the tech scene here. Lagos Africa’s most valuable startup ecosystem Lagos has the most valuable startup ecosystem in Africa, with the local entrepreneurship scene worth US$2 billion, according to March report. The Global Startup Ecosystem Report and Ranking 2017, produced by Startup Genome in collaboration with the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN), was based on conversations with entrepreneurs and data on startups. No African country made the top 20, but Lagos, Cape Town and Johannesburg warranted mention in the report. At US$2 billion, the Lagos startup ecosystem is the most valuable in Africa continent, but only second after Cape Town in terms of the number of startups. 2 Likes |

Itanna: Poised To Ignite An Economic Revolution In Africa – The Search For Africa’s Top Fintech Talent Continues The Itanna Team It has been an exciting 2 months at Itanna and this week, we are conducting the second round of interviews for startups to join Lagos’ newest tech accelerator; Itanna. We launched the programme towards the end of last year, searching for fintech startups to join our inaugural cohort. We wanted to attract entrepreneurs or tech founders who were ready to take their MVP to the next stage of its journey. Itanna, which literally means “to ignite” in Yoruba, is a partnership between the Honeywell Group and the African Economic Revolution Fund (AERF) – two entities who wanted to collaborate on a long-term project that connects innovation, entrepreneurship and social impact. By coming together to create Itanna, AERFand Honeywell Group brings a wealth of experience and knowledge. As a team, we have collectively raised close to $100bn in capital for African firms and institutions and built thriving businesses through our 50-year track record. Yorubas keep doing big things. I wish Itanna would also encourage other SWner states. 2 Likes |

Rensource raises $3.5m to take affordable renewable energy to more Nigerians Ademola “Demmy” Adesina is the founder and CEO of Rensource, a West African-focused distributed energy services company. Rensource, a Lagos-based renewable energy startup, has raised $3.5 million in bridge financing to expand its business. This is coming nearly 2 years after a previous seed round of $1.1m in 2016.This new round is led by Mauritius-based Amaya Capital Partners, with participation from Omidyar Network and Pule Taukobong‘s CRE Venture Capital, which previously led Andela’s $40m Series C round. Interestingly, CRE Venture Capital participated in the original seed round for Rensource. Founded in 2015 by Ademola Adesina and Jussi Savukoski, Rensource is hinged on a core belief that distributed power generation will be a critical element in solving the power problem in Nigeria. Damilola Ogunbiyi, CEO of the Rural Electrification Agency agrees. According to her, “Nigerians spend about $14 billion annually on inefficient power generation. Off-grid alternatives like creating mini grid and solar home systems can easily be at $9.2 billion a year, which will save the Nigerian public and citizens $4.2 billion.” In March 2017, Rensource introduced a tiered subscription-based business model that enabled customers pay to use energy, rather than own the infrastructure. The idea was to provide affordable renewable energy on a ‘Power-as-a-Service’ (PaaS) basis. Read more at: https://techpoint.ng/2018/01/30/rensource-raises-3-5m/ 2 Likes |

I love the SW The Research Institute which is located at Ago Owu, Ayedaade Local Government Area of Osun was accomplished in collaboration with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in a bid to boost agricultural production. Launching the institute at Ago-Owu Farm Settlement, Aregbesola attributed the success of the scheme to unflinching support which the state received from the officials of the IITA. Aregbesola said the step was as a result of his passion to get the state rid of hanger and poverty also said that the state had released 205.5 hectares of land for the take-off of the programme as part of efforts to advance agriculture in the state. https://www.channelstv.com/2017/06/02/osun-govt-partners-with-iita-to-boost-agriculture/ 2 Likes |
