Hello

May was a big month for us at SpurtX!—and we’ve got plenty to share!

From supporting accelerator programs with Sync! to attending World Product Day Lagos with our partners at Innovate Africa, it’s been a month of impact and momentum. We’re also inviting you to join an important conversation about Nigeria’s tech ecosystem. Scroll down for highlights, insights, and opportunities you won’t want to miss.

Sync! is Helping Accelerator Programs Run Smoother

Running an accelerator program is not easy. It involves managing multiple startup teams, deliverables, and timelines all at once.

Between scattered WhatsApp messages, missed milestones, and constant follow-ups, things can easily fall through the cracks.

That’s why accelerator coordinators are turning to Sync!

Ø All-in-one platform for team collaboration

Ø Assign and track tasks in real time

Ø Track milestones and deliverables with ease

Ø Stay on top of progress; without the follow-up chase

Ø Keep everyone (mentors, founders, startup teams and program coordinators) on the same page

With Sync!, accelerator program coordinators have been able to drive accountability, better communication, and smoother coordination across all stakeholders, from coordinators to startup teams and mentors

Bring structure, visibility, and momentum to your accelerator program.

On the 21st of this month, we had the pleasure of attending the Lagos edition of World Product Day 2025, hosted by our partner, Innovate Africa.

With the theme “Bold Builders Wanted,” the event brought together a carefully selected mix of product professionals, founders, engineers, and ecosystem enablers working to build scalable, user-driven solutions for Africa.

Highlights from the event:

A Product Ecosystem Job Fair that created space for top tech companies to meet and recruit talent across various roles.
An Hackathon Finale that featured live pitches from the top five teams that developed prototypes for real-world challenges.
Series of interactive workshops and roundtables that offered practical sessions on building in emerging markets.
Fireside chats with seasoned product leaders that provided unfiltered insights on building and scaling from people actively solving tough problems.

We’re proud to have been part of this powerful gathering of thinkers and doers. Shoutout to Innovate Africa for creating such a high-impact platform!

Between 2010 and now, Nigeria has emerged as a hotspot for technology and innovation on the African continent, it is home to over 90 tech hubs, the most in a single country in all of Africa.

The rise of tech hubs across the country is not only fostering a new generation of entrepreneurs but also driving economic growth and has created well over 100,000 Jobs in the country.

Is this true, or do underlying factors suggest a more complex reality?

We want to hear from you!
