As a Nigerian, I feel ashamed that we brag about 40 Million Internet users but countries like Kenya have incubators like iHub and we in Nigeria have nothing to show for it.

I am 18 years old and a tech enthusiast, I badly want to start an incubator,to organize but I have no idea who to start with ( Nigerians are not tech enthusiast one bit, I don't know any body who uses techcrunch,wired or fast company its all facebook with my generation).

To cut long story short, anyone has any ideas for an incubator, ( we could even name it Nairaland Meetup if possible lol).

thanks for any replies.

P.S: not that we don't have mediums like funding incubators, but they are not transparent one bit and we need some real disruption.

Thank you for your replies.

I am thinking og getting Nigerian Equity Firms, maybe through them help spread the word, hopefully my age does not hinder me

My advice would be to hold off on getting in touch with the equity firms. First of all register the incubator hub as a legal entity under CAC, put together a team of developers, then build and deploy a solution. Once you've done all these then you can start seeking for investments.

Instead of even targeting the equity firms, I would suggest you have a go at NITDA,they are actually in the process of setting software incubation hubs through out the country. I actually know the person in charge of this particular project as I have an ongoing project with this particular department. So when you're ready you can contact with me and we take it from there.
