Common questions
The short answers. Ask us anything else on the numbers above.
- Can I apply if I do not have a business yet?
- Yes. You need an idea that solves a real problem and to have started turning it into something people can use. A registered business is not required.
- Can I apply from any sector?
- Yes. Cohort 2 is open to every field. There is no list of allowed sectors.
- How old do I need to be?
- Between 18 and 35 at the time you apply.
- Which states can apply?
- Plateau, Katsina, Niger, Abia, Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Taraba. You need to live in one of them.
- Can I apply using my phone?
- Yes. The whole application works on a phone, including uploading a photo or video of your solution.
- What if my internet is slow or drops?
- Your answers are saved as you go. If your connection drops, what you have typed is kept and sent when you are back online. You can also stop and come back later, on a different phone if you need to.
- Can someone help me apply?
- Yes. Call any of the numbers above and we will help you through it.
- Can I apply if I have received funding before?
- Yes. The application asks about it so we understand what support you already have. It does not disqualify you.
