The story

Web3Bridge is a Nigeria/Africa-based blockchain developer training bootcamp founded in 2019 by Awosika Israel Ayodeji. It runs 16-week Web3 cohorts and 6-month Web2 cohorts, has trained 1,000+ developers directly, and positions itself as the partner protocols (Aavegotchi, Consensys, Polygon, Nethermind) use to hire African talent. This is an education business, not a fintech — its embedded finance surface area is limited to collecting registration fees on a payments subdomain.
