The programme offers structured training, in-person mentorship in Owerri and remote mentoring from Silicon Valley founders. Its method was developed with the University of California, Berkeley’s Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation and has reportedly been used by more than 5,000 founders in over 80 countries.
According to the announcement, participants will learn from experienced founders, including entrepreneurs who have built businesses valued at more than $1 billion. The initiative focuses on developing founders, rather than simply helping applicants launch a startup.
