Yesterday marked an exciting milestone for Startup Bauchi as we officially onboarded the founders selected for the iDICE Startup Bridge Founders Lab Cohort 1.
We are proud to congratulate:
ZerivonX
Agricvault
Sidqah Labs
These startups were selected through a highly competitive process and will spend the next 12 weeks receiving mentorship, guidance, ecosystem support, and growth opportunities through the iDICE Startup Bridge Programme.
The onboarding session provided an opportunity for the founders to meet, align expectations, set goals, engage with their mentor, and begin planning for the journey ahead.
A special thank you to our mentor Yohanna Ayuba for committing to support these founders throughout the programme, and to our Executive Director Yerima Isaac for his continued leadership and dedication to building a thriving startup ecosystem in Bauchi State.
The Investment in Digital and Creative Enterprises (iDICE) Programme is a national initiative of the Federal Government of Nigeria, powered in partnership with the Bank of Industry (BOI), African Development Bank (AfDB), Agence Française de Développement (AFD), and the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB).
As the implementing hub for Bauchi State, Startup Bauchi is excited to support these founders as they learn, build, grow, and turn their ideas into impactful businesses.
This is just the beginning. Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing their stories, celebrating milestones, and documenting their entrepreneurial journey.
