In a move that’s resonating across the African continent, Nigeria‑born and Canada‑based EdTech startup 10Alytics is making remarkable strides in training and equipping Africans for international tech careers. As of today, the platform has provided over 650 scholarships to Africans from Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, and the diaspora, propelling them into promising roles in data analytics, cybersecurity, and business intelligence
Co‑founder and CEO, Adeiza Suleman, eloquently encapsulates the startup’s mission: “Opportunity gaps persist not because of talent deficits but due to unequal access.” His conviction is that “someone in Abuja or Kumasi should stand on equal footing with a candidate in California.” Guided by this ethos, 10Alytics offers structured, beginner-friendly programs, empowering individuals—regardless of prior tech exposure—to transition into global tech roles.
As of June 2025, the results are compelling. A stunning 88 percent of 10Alytics alumni have landed roles in the global technology sector, working remotely or relocating to markets like Canada, the UK, and the U.S..
10Alytics’ success is not just in numbers but in its inclusive strategy. Its scholarship initiatives especially target underrepresented demographics—women, immigrants, and Black professionals—who historically face systemic barriers to entry. Scholarship recipients not only receive tuition support but also CV optimisation, LinkedIn mentoring, portfolio development, career coaching, and even letters of recommendation. The result? A community of well-rounded, confident candidates entering the global tech workforce.
Adding further fuel to its growth engine, 10Alytics was accepted into Canada’s Alberta Catalyser Velocity accelerator in 2024. This prestigious recognition reinforces the startup’s credibility and its global ambitions
Bridging the Talent Divide: From Hackathons to Hiring
10Alytics sets itself apart with its vibrant, community-oriented approach. The startup hosts bi‑annual global hackathons, attracting talent from more than 20 countries. These events, where participants tackle real‑world problems under time constraints, offer both practical skills development and a live showcase of competencies. Many top performers have gone on to secure internships or full‑time roles.
In addition to training and events, 10Alytics delivers ongoing support through mentorship networks, feedback sessions, and direct connections to hiring partners. The impact is evident in the stories shared by participants: a stay‑at‑home mom in Toronto who became a data analyst, a Nigerian immigrant landing a cybersecurity position in Canada, and a Ghanaian banker who transitioned into financial analytics, all through the support system 10Alytics provides
Earlier rounds of scholarship funding also made waves. In 2023, the company awarded over 300 scholarships to women across 10 countries in celebration of International Women’s Day. In 2024, buoyed by demand, the initiative extended to include 50 men as allies, bolstering gender balance in its cohorts.
Since its launch in August 2020, 10Alytics has grown into a trusted brand, not only for individual learners but for corporate clients seeking data-driven insights and technical upskilling. They have trained thousands worldwide, offering courses in data analytics, business analysis, financial analytics, HR analytics, full-stack data science, and cybersecurity.
This expansive training pipeline has already facilitated over 2,000 placements in top-tier firms across Nigeria, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Sweden, UAE, and more.
Why the World Is Paying Attention
- High placement success – With 88 % of its graduates securing global roles, 10Alytics demonstrates an unusually strong return on investment.
- Purpose‑driven leadership – Founders Suleman and Ikpro are vocal about equalising opportunity, especially for Africans and historically marginalised communities.
- Holistic support – It’s one thing to teach technical skills; it’s another to groom job‑ready professionals through mentorship, portfolio building, and interview prep.
- Global validation – Participating in acclaimed tech accelerators like Alberta Catalyser adds external credibility and access to investor networks.
- Ecosystem development – Beyond training, events like hackathons foster a supportive tech ecosystem that transcends borders.
Looking Ahead
With a track record of success in 2025, 10Alytics seems poised to scale further. It already plans more hackathons, deeper partnerships with global employers, and expanded scholarship programs on multiple continents. Suleman and Ikpro are also exploring partnerships with universities, NGOs, and governments to amplify their impact.
For Africa—and indeed any region with underserved tech potential—the message is clear: Global tech talent isn’t scarce; opportunity is. Through missions like those propelled by 10Alytics, that imbalance is being rapidly corrected, one scholarship at a time.
