AyaHQ's mission is to make innovation across Africa repeatable rather than accidental: training talent, backing startups early, and building the infrastructure that sits underneath both. In practice that means programs, physical spaces, and access to mentorship and funding.

We organize hackathons and innovation challenges where organizations launch ideas and builders create real-world solutions. We run incubation programs that offer mentorship, resources, and funding access for promising startups. Through our physical builder hubs, which include co-working spaces, event venues and residency programs across different African cities, we provide environments where builders can collaborate and grow. Together they form a single pipeline from first idea to funded startup.

We operate two builder hubs, in Accra, Ghana and Kilifi, Kenya, with more locations planned. AyaHQ has a continent-wide digital community and runs events and hackathons across multiple African regions.

AyaHQ offers a full spectrum of support: hackathons and innovation challenges that help teams validate ideas and ship working prototypes; a 12-week incubation program that provides mentorship, resources, and access to funding; and builder hubs that serve as collaborative spaces for co-working, events, workshops, and residencies.
