Out of curiosity, has anyone applied to Y combinator or similar tech startup accelerator programs? How has your experience been like? They rarely pick African tech startups, maybe it's a minority thing or something, the prominent one was paystack that did YC I think in 2016. YC are mostly focused on AI startups and Saas and AI agents and those hype especially those in Silicon Valley and San Fransisco. What's your take on this? Any tech startup accelerators in Nigeria? |

davidaluu:it's not like that, you have to have the company registered in the US, even if your Nigerian company is the parent at least the operational one will be in the US without it you can't get into their acceleration or get investors 1 Like |
