About The Program
The idea of Kaduna Entrepreneurship Bootcamp (Kada Bootcamp) arised from the economic and security challenges bedevilling several parts of the country. At Kada Bootcamp, our belief is that security is not just protecting the citizens from security threats, but Security comes from economic prosperity, quality education and good jobs.
For decades, starting a venture in Nigeria and Africa was a costly and complicated affair. You had to raise sufficient funds all by yourself (or get investors, which is difficult), rent out a brick-and-mortar storefront, and get people in the door. Even today, running a traditional startup takes lots of money, time, and energy.
If you have dreams of starting a business, its easy to quickly become discouraged. The upfront cost, time to launch, financial support and legion of details make it seem as if your business will never become established, let alone successful.
Kada Bootcamp is a startup accelerator program designed to prepare its participants to build innovative ventures that create economic and social value, no matter what industry they are into. It is a guide to start and grow a business even if you are a total beginner.
At Kada Bootcamp, your entrepreneurial success is our only business and that is why our only priority is to connect startup founders and small business owners with the necessary tools and recourses they need to succeed.
Our Mission
Our Mission at Kada Bootcamp is to help one million entrepreneurs thrive over the next 10 years by giving them access to the resources they need to succeed. We try to do that in number of different ways. First, at our core, we organized an accelerator program, a three-month entrepreneurship bootcamp. Second thing, we do to is we help entrepreneurs spend less by giving them access to free online tools to help their business. The third way to helps entrepreneurs in our ecosystem is through some of our partnership with government and private business support organizations withing and outside the country.
