We have created an app called Grate,the number 1 first food rating, snapping and reviewing app. While most other apps rate restaurants we rate food. We are food-centric and food first.

myCodeEdge Africa is a career transformation and practical learning ecosystem built to help African talent compete globally. We believe Africa does not have a talent problem, it has a direction, access, and execution problem. Too many talented people are stuck between confusion, scattered learning, and unclear career paths. We are building the bridge between potential and opportunity. Our platform combines career guidance, practical tech education, mentorship, project-based learning, and real-world career preparation into one ecosystem. Instead of pushing people into random tech courses, we help learners understand where they fit best through our AI-powered Career Fit system, then guide them through structured learning paths designed for local, remote, and international opportunities. We focus heavily on practical outcomes. Learners do not just watch videos. They work on projects, build portfolios, receive mentorship, prepare for interviews, optimize their professional presence, and develop skills that match real market demand. Our programs are designed to move learners from beginner level to globally competitive professionals. At our core, we care deeply about clarity, structure, impact, and long-term growth. We are building more than an online school. We are building a technology-driven ecosystem that helps people discover direction, gain valuable skills, and access life-changing opportunities through technology.

NativeMeet was created with a simple belief: the world understands places better through people, not polished tourism narratives. Every country has its own food, traditions, language, and everyday stories—but most global platforms fail to represent them authentically. NativeMeet exists to change that. We are building a global cultural community platform that connects people through real local experiences. Instead of curated travel highlights, NativeMeet empowers locals to share their culture as it is lived—through food, traditions, neighborhoods, and community stories. Our model is country-first: we work with one trusted community partner per country who understands local identity and helps grow authentic participation. NativeMeet blends community, content, and technology to create meaningful cultural connections. We collaborate with creators, students, and community builders to document local culture while maintaining trust, accuracy, and respect. Our platform is designed to scale globally while remaining deeply local. We are an early-stage, founder-led startup focused on sustainable, community-driven growth. While we are currently bootstrapped, our priority is building strong local networks, engaged communities, and a trusted global brand before scaling further. Our culture values authenticity, ownership, and inclusivity. We work remotely, respect local autonomy, and encourage our team to lead with pride in their roots. At NativeMeet, growth is measured not just by numbers, but by the depth of connection we create between cultures.

Onja trains underprivileged youth into world-class software developers. Our organisation is unified by a common mission: to give life-changing work through sustainable social enterprise. We are recognised for our innovative model that finds exceptional talent where opportunity is scarce, invests in its development, and connects it directly to the global tech economy. Through an intensive two-and-a-half-year program, we co-create pathways to long-term social and economic stability that prioritise self-reliance. We operate as one integrated organisation, where education, hiring, and partner collaboration work together to deliver high-performing tech talent with lasting social impact. Onja developers invest in their own futures and in their nation’s development, while ensuring Onja remains self-funding and scalable, paying forward opportunities to the next generation. Onja is located in Toamasina, a lively city with beautiful beaches, nice restaurants, and plenty to do and see.

We build and deploy dense networks of cloud-connected "KOKOpoints" inside local corner stores, which serve as consumer access points for goods and services delivered in partnership with major suppliers. Our first consumer solution is a liquid ethanol cooking fuel, which delivers significant cost savings and quality of life improvements in the multi-billion dollar market for urban cooking fuel. This fuels solution is delivered through a Kenyan operating partnership with Vivo Energy, the company which owns and operates Shell-branded fuels distribution infrastructure across Africa.

Nabta Health (nabtahealth.com) discovers new ways for women to prevent, identify and manage non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The growing epidemic of NCDs threatens the ambition of countries around the world to achieve sustainable, universal access to health and universal health coverage for their populations. NCDs also leave populations more susceptible to communicable diseases such as COVID-19. Moreover, NCDs remain underesearched and underserved in women. Until the mid-1990s, clinical research and clinical trials largely excluded women. Today, women using drugs that were approved pre-1994, are 50–75% more likely than men to suffer adverse reactions to those therapies. Ironically, a significant proportion of the drugs in this category are those designed to treat or manage NCDs. Examples include statins and potassium channel-blockers used to manage cardiovascular disease or hypoglycaemic drugs such as Rezulin used to control diabetes. Standardising and personalising the ways in which women identify and manage NCDs in the context of their own lifestyles and health goals, and through the use of applied machine learning and Artificial Intelligence, will improve clinical outcomes and make cutting-edge healthcare affordable and accessible for all women. Nabta’s unique model of hybrid healthcare seamlessly combines digital health with traditional healthcare to improve health outcomes in women living with NCDs. Nabta’s first hybrid care pathway supports women in preventing, identifying and managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a hormonal disorder responsible for 70% of female fertility issues. Women who use Nabta’s platform will be able to obtain a formal diagnosis of PCOS within 90 days versus the global average of 2.5 years.
