Minishot is a micro-grant program supporting young Nigerian students and recent grads working on creative, tech, research, or venture projects. Whether you're building a prototype, launching a small venture, or exploring an idea, we believe in the power of small actions to make big things happen.
We know how hard it can be to focus on something meaningful when you're juggling so many other things like school, work, and life. Sometimes all it takes is a little financial support and encouragement to help bring your vision to life.
This is not intended to be a scholarship or a job. Minishot is trust-based support to help you focus on what really matters. It's a bit of breathing room and resources to help you get closer to your goals. And hopefully, a small nudge. It's for those who are doing the work but could use a little help making it happen.
