Razaq Saro, Berkly Properties

Phoenix Ezendu, Happyfans
“I didn’t study business, I had no Idea on how to go about it, when I saw The Hustle Bootcamp, I thought it was a good opportunity to learn.
My first major concern was if I could do it, I wasn’t sure what the course would look like, but the teachings were very punchy, it was straightforward with illustrations. That is the way I like to learn”
Diane Ouandji, Stratechno
“I was a bit afraid that I would be among people who are living in New York and have no idea how business is done in Africa. The Hustle Bootcamp handled that pretty well, because the community comes from all around the world. The Hustle Bootcamp team helped us connect with each other, and this reassured me.”
Seyi Fakoya, Creo Consulting
“The experience for me, from understanding the market to writing a business pitch to knowing how to acquire customers, was simply awesome. Dotun and the Growthlab team were phenomenal and I personally will endorse The Hustle Bootcamp, for would-be entrepreneurs and other entrepreneurs out there.”
Chigozie Ezugwu, Raadaa.com
“I actually applied on the last day of the application because I did not know what the program was about. When I went for the program it changed my life, it was so amazing, The whole package was so interesting, so educating, and so detailed.”
Taslim Okunola, ByteMars
“When I registered for the bootcamp I was stuck in the middle of the startup journey and I really needed direction, which was what Growthlab delivered during the bootcamp.”
Are you ready to take decisive action for your future now?
The Hustle Bootcamp is an intensive, 5-week online workshop for high-performing individuals who want to launch, scale and get funding for their business in Africa.
This programme will help you make decisive actions that you need to take to go from “no idea” to running a profitable, scalable and fundable business in Africa.
You are on this page because you recently indicated an interest to join this course.
It means you either want to start your a new business or you want to scale an existing business.
But what do you do when you are not sure of your next step?
What do you do when you have too much information and advice, and you don’t know which one will help?
Or when you have specific questions that you can only be answered by those who understand what it means to build a profitable business in Africa?
That’s what The Hustle Bootcamp is for.
Why you have to attend this course?
There are so many information on the internet on business, startups and raising capital.
This is not your average online course. This is a coaching programme!
Rather, it will be a condensed learning experience through decision-making guides, personalised feedback, coaching and curated readings. Everything is geared towards enabling you to launch your new business or innovate existing one in 5 weeks.
It took us more than a year to put this together. We had to make sure it is relevant and will produce results for entrepreneurs that want to build a scalable business in Africa. We tested the course with 17 students in a live 3-day Bootcamp. And we observed how much their business has grown after they completed the programme.
All the case studies and examples will be contextualised for the realities of building a growth business in Africa.
This course will be practical and intensive. It means I’m not going to lecture you or give you too much information. This course will be more of coaching than lecture.
In the course, I am bringing my years of experience as an entrepreneur that has raised money from angel and institutional investors, exited my business and now work as a growth consultant and investor in Africa.
I will help you address important questions you need to confront as an entrepreneur in Africa. We go through step-by-step plans you need to put in place from having an idea, launching your product, using growth marketing to scale up revenue, attracting the best talent and raising capital.
This course is BETTER than other similar courses you can get elsewhere.
