Uphiva

The Start-up Hive.

Uphiva is a community where African freelancers, entrepreneurs, creators and businesses connect, grow and access opportunities together.

One account gives you both sides of it. There is the work you are looking for, and the profile, storefront or booking page that brings work to you.

JOBS AND TALENT
Browse roles and apply with a cover note from your phone, then track where each application stands. Take a track assessment so employers searching the talent pools can see what you can do.

MENTORSHIP
Book a session with someone who has already done the thing you are trying to do, and join the call from the app. Sessions are open to people at the very start of a career.

A BUSINESS PROFILE THAT TAKES ENQUIRIES
Give a business a real home here. Its services, its property and other listings sit on one public profile, with a direct line for customers to reach it.

MARKETPLACE AND DECLUTTER
Sell what you make through the marketplace, with a cart, checkout and orders you can track. Pass on what you no longer need through Declutter.

IDEABOX
Pitch an idea and raise from the community, or back somebody else's.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND SPONSORSHIPS
Programmes and grants for education and for ventures.

COMMUNITIES AND THE SQUARE
Rooms for jobs, tech, business, relocation and more, alongside posts, questions and work from members doing what you do.

WALLET
Coins from referrals and everyday activity, spendable in the shop or on a mentor, with withdrawals to your bank.

PODCASTS, ARTICLES AND EVENTS
Publish to the same community that hires you, or read and listen to what other members have made.

Plenty of the people on the other side are not on the continent at all. A property company selling to Nigerians abroad belongs here as much as a developer taking remote contracts.

Uphiva Network & Enterprises operates from Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria, with Uphiva Inc in Delaware, United States.
