Cohorts where builders learn by shipping real software.

An African tech community, starting in East Africa and Nigeria. Small groups work side by side for a few months, with working engineers in the room. The work, and the people you build it with, are what stay.

Every skill opens onto the next.

A cohort is a path through a map of skills, walked with other builders and the engineers alongside them. The map keeps going after the cohort ends.

  1. Build together

    A small group, real projects, weekly sessions. Accountability over assignments.

  2. Engineers alongside

    Working engineers share how a real system fits together, then help you build one.

What we hold ourselves to.

  1. COMMUNITY

    Less a program, more a group of people building together.

  2. PHILOSOPHY

    We teach how to see a system, not a syllabus to memorize.

  3. EQUITY

    No degree required. English required — fluency isn't.

  4. CONTINUITY

    We stay in touch after the cohort. We make it easy to reconnect when life pulls someone away.

  5. HONESTY

    Two students in fintech internships so far. No job placements yet — we'll tell you when there are.
