About Naija Startup Club
Empowering Nigerian student entrepreneurs to build solutions for real problems
Our Mission
Nigeria is home to incredible talent, but student entrepreneurs often lack the community, resources, and networks to turn ideas into reality. That's why we built Naija Startup Club.
We're Nigeria's premier student startup community, exclusively for students in Nigerian universities. Our mission is to connect talented builders, provide access to real problems worth solving, and create pathways to mentorship, resources, and funding.
We believe the next generation of Nigerian unicorns will be built by students who understand local challenges deeply and have the ambition to solve them. We're here to accelerate that journey.
What We Do
Connect Founders
Build teams, find co-founders, and connect with Nigeria's top 1% of student builders through our Discord community.

Access 100+ researched problems across 37 Nigerian states. From healthcare to finance—find challenges worth solving.
Provide Resources

Our Impact
Who We Serve
Naija Startup Club is exclusively for students currently enrolled in Nigerian universities. Whether you're studying engineering, design, business, or any other field—if you're passionate about building startups and solving problems, you're welcome here.
We welcome students from all disciplines and at all stages of their founder journey. From those with just an idea to those already scaling their startups, our community provides value at every step.
Membership is completely free because we believe in making entrepreneurship accessible to all Nigerian students, regardless of background or financial status.
What Makes Us Different
