Quirehouse

Where African founders find each other, validate ideas and build companies worth investing in.

[Ethel Egboja @__ethelle]

If you’re an African startup founder trying to start lean and save cost but still want access to the best tools, these are my recommendations:

Backend: Railway + Supabase for auth, storage and database.
Frontend: Vercel or Cloudflare
Payments: Paystack
Analytics: PostHog

It’s very important as founders to be around likeminded people.

And again, AI won’t take your job.

[Quirehouse @quirehouse]

The French government has a fund for African tech startups.

Up to €100,000 per startup.
30 African startups funded every year.
Mentorship and ecosystem access included.

It's called Fuzé by Digital Africa.

Most African founders have never heard of it. Now you have.
