Nigeria and Global News
One of the questions upwardly mobile individuals ask when in Kigali hovers around a startup hub., founded in Rwanda in 2021, curates and hosts hundreds of companies. Some of these companies have raised significant capital and investments, and others have expanded beyond Rwanda. Norrsken aims to foster impact entrepreneurship through technology, providing networks and learning opportunities within their various houses.
Norrsken operates five funds, including Norrsken VC and Norrsken Africa Seed Fund, which have collectively raised over seven hundred and fifty million dollars. These funds support exceptional entrepreneurs who combine profit with positive global impact, aligning with Norrsken’s mission to make a difference in the world.
There was a promising opportunity to build something special in Kigali and expand the Norrsken movement. When all these elements came together, and bearing in mind that Rwanda had an ambitious policy to become a tech hub, it created the right environment. We are also exploring similar opportunities globally. Wherever we find the right homegrown people with the skillsets to execute the vision, we are glad to expand with the right people, resources and enabling environments.
We focus on curating the space, putting together community sharing and learning events like Founders’ Friday, Lunch & Learn, Open Mic Nights, Office Hours, etc. that help these different players interface with each other daily and through the special community spaces and events which we create.It has been very exciting to build this and see the incredible energy from the budding community of impact entrepreneurs that we have been able to create, attract and inspire.
As I reiterated, our goal is not to provide training.So, even though we do SME support programmes like Women in Business; our primary goal and core focus is to be a catalyst as a hub of hubs that invites everyone to partner and build a community that wins together.As explained in the previous two responses, we have established one major way that we are different; which is that our goal is not to create yet another incubator.
