About the Enye Cohorts

In the newest iteration of the Enye cohort, two programs run concurrently: the Founders program which helps founders build out their MVPs, and the Software Engineering Cohort which design thinking, Agile methodologies, and product life cycles to help cohort members skill up.

In each cohort, engineers undergo a two-month intensive training in product development, distributed teamwork and with founders who are provided with project management support and investment readiness.

The Enye Founders Program helps entrepreneurs tackle real-world problems in health, education, transportation, financial, and other socially impactful areas. The founders are all vetted through Enye’s partners (i.e. FMCB, Founder Institute, Wennovation Hub, etc.). In collaboration with Founder Institute Lagos, Enye created a Frontiers Technology Fellowship for each cohort of both the Enye Founders’ Program and Founder Institute’s in Lagos, Nigeria.

Commenting on plans for the future, Enye CEO, Uche Nnadi said, “The next major phase will build on what we have started. We want to give founders and engineers the right tools and skillset to run successful companies. We will help with mentoring, networking, and funding.”
