About Us
Starthub women is a community of women in Start Innovation Hub who use Technology to build the capacity of the African Child and Champion the visibility of women in the community.
History About Us
Starthub Women is a not-for-profit initiative of Start Innovation Hub Technology Foundation. It was founded by Youth Hanson Johnson in July 2018 at Start Innovation Hub as a community of young women using technology and entrepreneurship to champion the visibility of women in society. We envision a community where women are proportionally represented as technical leaders, executives, founders, VCs, board members and software engineers. We do not only encourage women to start up faster in technology entrepreneurship but also support the growth of women that are already in tech. We also use technology to build the capacity of an African child.

Client Testimonials
Testimonies!
Starthub Women gave me a platform to teach kids at Eden Schools how to code. I have gone ahead to incorporate The Innovative Child Network for Skill-based Education as a platform to help me fulfil my dream of transforming learning to meet the needs of every child.
Blessing Akpan
I was introduced to this amazing team by my twin sister. Today, I feel fulfilled also finding time to give back by visiting at least 1 school a week to get kids and teens started with technology.
Mabel Johnson
What I like about Starthub Women is the professionalism and inclusiveness in their programmes. My interest in technology and entrepreneurship got the spark when I found other women doing amazing things in this community of women supporting women
Esther Ekereuke
We have seen great value from the feedback we get from our pupils. they are always looking forward to Wednesday for the coding and robotics club sessions. We will also continue to do our best in supporting this novel initiative.
Mrs. Regina Ekpu
I got inspired into tech by what I saw Edidiong Asikpo has grown up to become within a very short time. When I asked further, I learned she is part of this amazing community of women supporting women. When Facebook named her as an Icon of Change in Africa, I knew I too can make it as a Woman in Tech. I am today testifying of the awesomeness of Starthub Women as a world-class Frontend Developer.
