About

Empowering Young Developers to build Blockchain powered Enterprises

CapitalSavvy has partnered with the BSV Blockchain Association and the Satoshi Block Dojo to launch the Blockchain Innovation Program in East Africa.

The first cohort of the BIP will experience a 10-week program with a robust curriculum developed by the BSV Academy, aimed at providing the relevant foundation required for developers to build scalable projects and enterprises on the BSV Blockchain. The first cohort will have a total of 50 successful entrepreneurs, that will be carefully selected based on several surrogates including a demonstration of proficiency in programming languages such as Java, C++, Python and JavaScript, and should demonstrate entrepreneurial and leadership capabilities among others. We plan to have a minimum of three cohorts a year.

There will be a hackathon at the 10 weeks, culminating into an opportunity for the best evaluated entrepreneur to represent the rest of the cohort at the third Cohort of the Satoshi Block Dojo, in London. This will provide an avenue for further learning, and linkages to potential seed/ venture capital partners for the entrepreneur. The rest of the entrepreneurs in the program will be exposed to several projects within the BSV Blockchain ecosystem where they will have an opportunity to be gainfully employed, thereby applying the acquired skills.
