Tech Venture Support Programs
Our venture support is tailored for early-stage startups that have not yet raised a Seed Round. There are two types of programs:
Firstly, tailored 2-year 1-on-1 venture support with our venture team so you can build your startup faster and avoid mistakes. We are basically here to save you 6-12 months or more in building your startup. That is a lot of money a few years down the road…
Secondly, we run free bootcamps in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania once per year for selected tech founders to help put in place the foundations of your global startup success. The best founders will be offered the chance to join the long-term venture support.

0.1% Founders program
If you do not feel like you are ready to join a long-term venture building program or want to get to know us first, join the 0.1% Founders program. It runs annually in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. This is how you will benefit: 1 week intense and practical bootcamp where we will help you refine your business mode, pricing, and focus on finding the best model for growth. You will meet investors and get their perspective about your business. You will understand what you need to do to prove that you can succeed. And many even start to make revenue! Thereafter, some founders will get 1-on1 expert support for 3 months to help to build further. StartHub finances this program from its own profits internally – so no worries, this is not about reaching someone’s impact targets but to support the best tech talent to build faster. Next program dates: June 2025 for Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania.
