The GSA is the largest independent startup ecosystem awards platform globally, and this year, it has expanded its reach across Africa, showcasing the continent's vibrant innovation community. With a record-breaking 11,949 entries, over 700 finalists were selected, and we are proud to have Olajumoke named among the top 69 regional winners from across Africa.

What This Award Means

Being recognized as a Regional Winner is a significant achievement for Olajumoke and the Alajo team. It signifies that our work is resonating with the community and that we are making strides in the ever-evolving startup ecosystem. Now, Olajumoke has the exciting opportunity to compete at the continental level, where she will be evaluated by a distinguished Continental Jury and engage in public voting to determine the top 14 African Winners. These winners will be celebrated at the GSA Africa Summit in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, this October.

The Impact of the GSA

The Global Startup Awards provide a unique platform for African startups to access:

• New Markets: Connect with potential clients and partners across borders.
• Funding Opportunities: Engage with investors who are keen on supporting innovative solutions.
• A Global Network of Leaders: Build relationships with other innovators and industry experts.

A Look Forward

As a GSA regional winner, Olajumoke is excited about the potential collaboration with the GIIG Africa Fund, which balances tech innovation with social impact.
