Our Mission

Why We Bring People Together

The Somali tech community is growing fast — but we're scattered across cities, countries, and time zones. We host events to change that.

Connect the Diaspora

Somali tech talent is everywhere — Minnesota, London, Nairobi, Garowe. Our events bridge the distance and create real connections.

Share Knowledge

From coding workshops to design reviews — our events are about levelling up together and passing on what we know.

Build Together

Some of the best projects start at events. We create the space — you bring the ideas and the energy to make them real.

What Attendees Say

"This was the first time I connected with other Somali developers outside my city. The energy was incredible — I left with three new collaborators and a clearer vision for my startup."

Mohamed A. Developer, London

"As a design student, the workshop gave me real-world skills I wasn't getting in class. The mentors were generous with their time and the feedback was actionable."

Amina H. Design Student, Nairobi

"I pitched my app idea at Founders Night and got connected with a developer who helped me build the MVP. Couldn't have done it without this community."

Abdi Y. Entrepreneur, Minneapolis
