Nigeria’s premier innovation hub and seed-stage investor
CcHUB (Co-creation Hub) is Nigeria’s premier tech innovation centre and early-stage investor. Has supported 150+ startups since 2011 through residency programmes, seed funding, and the Growth Capital Fund. Portfolio includes Lifebank, BudgIT, and Ushahidi. The CcHUB Growth Capital Fund invests $50K–200K at seed stage.
Use when
You’re an early-stage Nigerian founder who wants funding, workspace, community, and mentorship from the most established innovation hub in West Africa.
Skip when
You need one investor to lead and set terms. A syndicate assembles many small cheques, which means more parties on the cap table and a slower close than a single lead.
Status (24 Sep 2026): CcHUB invests through two routes and they behave differently. The CcHUB Syndicate, launched December 2020, lets outside investors co-invest from as little as US$5,000 per round into early-stage Sub-Saharan companies, so a round here is assembled from many small tickets rather than one cheque. Separately, the accelerator and the partner Growth Capital Fund have backed more than 40 startups. Offices in Lagos, Nairobi and Kigali. Founded by Bosun Tijani, who has since served as Nigeria's communications and digital economy minister.
