In a celebration of innovation, grit, and ambition, ALX launched its 2025 Ventures Incubator Cohort, a group of elite startup founders from across the country.
This launch coincided with the grand finale of the pan-African “Do Hard Things Challenge” at ALX’s Lagos hub.
The ALX Ventures Incubator is designed to support these talented founders, providing them with hands-on mentorship, investor access, and resources to grow sustainable businesses that can shape the future of the continent.
This initiative is the next step for graduates of the Founder Academy, equipping them with the tools they need to succeed. According to Ruby Igwe, Country General Manager at ALX Nigeria, “The launch of the ALX Ventures Incubator is proof of our commitment to building the infrastructure for African innovation to thrive.”
The “Do Hard Things Challenge” was a bold initiative that took ALX to eight African cities, showcasing the continent’s most inspiring entrepreneurs.
The challenge culminated in a high-stakes finale in Mauritius, which was screened live for the Lagos tech and media community. Joshua Ebinabo, ALX Ventures Country Entrepreneurship Development Manager, noted that the challenge embodies the spirit of resilience, ambition, and problem-solving that ALX cultivates.
The event brought together founders, business leaders, and media influencers to celebrate African talent and innovation. The energy was electric, and the mission was clear: to empower Africa’s brightest minds to build global solutions from within the continent.
Whether you’re a startup founder or a dreamer looking for your big break, ALX is committed to being a launchpad for Africa’s digital and entrepreneurial revolution.
