AlGROWithm, a Nigerian startup, has raised funding to expand its proprietary Growth Talent Accelerator Programme to more people in six African countries.
Digital Africa provided the company with the funding it needs to expand its training programmes into new African markets and to provide scholarships to ambitious growth hackers interested in joining its training programme.
The Growth Talent Accelerator Programme offers growth hackers ed-tech solutions, and it was founded in March 2022 by alGROWithm.
The company has expanded its applicant pool beyond its initial focus on Nigeria and Ghana to include countries like South Africa, Rwanda, Uganda, and Kenya. In the meantime, alGROWithm has also introduced two exciting programmes designed for individuals and businesses, respectively, called GTAP Lite and GTAP Pro.
“Since our pilot in 2022, we’ve identified two critical needs in the ecosystem. There’s a persistent demand for more growth hacking talent, demonstrated by the swift employment of our past trainees. Secondly, we observed that many companies also sought to up-skill their existing teams instead of starting from scratch with new talent,” said alGROWithm founder and chief growth officer Bili Sule.
“We ran the Pro model with companies like Paga, Figorr, and Kebble last year, with great results. This fueled our decision to offer both propositions moving forward. This year alone, we aim to train over 150 growth leads across East, West, and Southern Africa, which is a testament to our ongoing commitment to bridging the growth talent gap in the ecosystem, and propelling African businesses to new heights.”
