African Startup League
Africa Startup League started as a collaboration between Humanity Node Protocol and The Exchange news service and has become a business partnership between Web3Africa, Heart Lotto, Adanian Labs, Global Startup League and Humanity Equity holders. African Startup League is a unique startup studio platform where we connect entrepreneurs with strategists, creatives, engineers, community and capital to design, build and launch exponential organizations focused on improving the life of humans.
Purpose — To gather and distribute resources for the building and acceleration of the next ten thousand great blockchain based, humanity focused companies.
Build Wealth from Your Ideas or Other Members Ideas
Solutions to the 8 UN Sustainable Development Goals on which Humanity Node Protocol are based are trillion dollar opportunities. For example, SDG number 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy — Elon Musk has taken a passion for clean energy and turned Tesla into a one trillion dollar company and Elon Musk has become the world’s richest man at $278 Billion. You don’t have to be Elon Musk or have his genius, if you find the next Elon Musk and he or she joins your Project you have just hit the lottery.
The Start-up Studio and Humanity NFTs
Within the Africa Startup League Humanity Node Protocol’s, Humanity NFTs, also function as the nodes for a decentralized startup studio that focuses on building companies providing solutions for the first 8 UN Sustainability Goals.
- Definition of “Startup Studio” A startup studio is a structure whose aim is to repeatedly build companies. Thanks to its infrastructure and resources, startup studios increase a startup’s chance of success and optimize its creation and growth.
- Our Startup Studio is decentralized because each of the 300,000 Humanity NFTs serve as resources for the Startup Studio independently and without any centralized control. Yet while independent they will coordinate, organize, de-organize and reorganize based on what is in the best interest of the project being built at that moment. There is no centralized gatekeeper to block any project but instead 300,000 doors to enter.
Africa Startup League and Humanity NFTs connect community members, experts, investors and start-ups in an attempt to rapidly and solidly build companies that matter and should exist because they improve the world for all humans.
Africa Startup League(ASL) is the first project of Humanity Nodes Protocol and is the world’s first decentralized community powered company builder for startups that want to improve humanity. ASL solves many problems of entrepreneurs and investors. It will open new opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation between all members of the community. This decentralized platform is built on Binance smart chain using smart contracts guarantees adequate compensation for all participants of the system. One major goal of ASL is to create an expert network that will help the Humanity NFTs release humanity focused commercially successful projects.
Though quality investments are by no means proprietary, Africa Startup League pipelines provide unparalleled risk mitigation. Through multiple touch points from idea inception onward, we don’t just know our portfolio companies, we track them through their genesis. Investment opportunities are made available to all Humanity NFTs at every stage of the development process, from Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to seed rounds and beyond. Humanity NFTs will receive equity and tokens for companies they co-build.
