Most hackathons stop when the winners are announced. For us, that's where the real work begins.
Today we're launching the Web3 Incubation Program with
@darblockchain @The_Hashgraph, WIKI START UP and UGFS NA : United Gulf Financial Services-North Africa , with
@softstack ⧉ as our security partner.
18 ventures. Four sprints. Five jury-audited gates. From October through to an investor Demo Day in January.
The Hedera Africa Hackathon gave us 13,000+ developers and 1,300+ submissions. The hard part was never finding talent — it was what happens after the applause. A prize is not a business model. So a share of the prize pool now goes directly into product development, technical implementation and market validation for those same winners.
Our target: at least five seed-ready companies by January, and signed LOIs or live pilots for more than 60% of the cohort by gate three.
Founders from Nigeria, Egypt, India, Brazil, the US and beyond.
Big thanks to

We're excited to launch the Web3 Incubation Program!
18 ventures from across the world will join a four-sprint journey covering venture assessment, product development, go-to-market, and investment readiness.
Together with Dar Blockchain, Wiki Startup, UGFS North Africa, and Softstack, we're helping the next generation of Web3 founders build and scale.
