Introducing Digital Residency

What our Digital Residents say about us
The DR community is a hotbed of collaboration. Being surrounded by diverse and talented people has been invaluable. We’ve bounced ideas off each other and built lifelong partnerships. I spent a few weeks in Nigeria, and it was a remarkable experience. This collaborative spirit is what truly fuels innovation, and Itana fosters it perfectly.

Digital Resident and MBA Candidate @Stanford
I follow Iyin Aboyeji and his work which led me to Itana. Ever since joining the community, it has been game-changing especially because it's full of like-minded people on the African continent. A community of people who are trying to start something novel, people who are very entrepreneurial and very business-minded.

Digital Resident and Founder @Mentord
There are lots of communities out there but the Itana community particularly stands out because of their commitment to serve its members. From supporting through immigration, to making intros to partners, it's perfect for startup founders looking to explore the African market.
