What People say about us
HOPIn Academy’s Business Incubation program has been a transformative experience for me and my company, Pesewa Brands. The mentorship, practical training, and supportive community provided the right environment to refine our business model and scale our services as a 360 digital solutions company. Beyond the skills, HOPIn has given us invaluable networks and confidence to compete on a bigger stage. I highly recommend it to any entrepreneur serious about growth.

“Thanks to HOPin Academy’s Business Incubation program, I’ve successfully launched my sustainable baking business. Today, we’re empowering local communities by providing jobs and practicing eco-friendly baking methods. This wouldn’t have been possible without the invaluable skills and mentorship I received at HOPin Academy.”

HOPin Academy has been a huge part of MelAnu’s journey. After launching, I joined their incubation program in 2023 and the guidance I received really helped me structure the business properly. I even won my first grant through them in the HOPin Incubation Program, which made it possible for us to rebrand. Two years into my journey, they’re still my go-to whenever I need resources, advice or support to grow. Truly grateful for the impact they’ve had on my journey as an entrepreneur.

HOPin Academy has been instrumental in shaping Timoya Farms’ growth journey. Through their mentorship, training, and network, we transformed from an idea into a structured agribusiness with a clear vision. The Academy provided us with the tools to refine our business model, connect with partners, and build investor confidence. Today, with Aviella Rice and our innovative circular parboiling system, we are creating real impact for smallholder farmers and households in Ghana. We are proud to be part of the HOPin community that champions sustainable entrepreneurship
