Ija Bacar

Alumni, Global Shapers Community

As a tech startup developer with significant experience in building innovation ecosystems and creative industries, I lead an online startup studio as a lead investor for budding entrepreneurs.

As a startup business developer I professionally help startups grow and scale their businesses. I work with startups to identify and develop new business opportunities, build relationships with potential customers and partners, and create and execute growth strategies.

As the Co-founder and CEO at startupafrica.news (an African data-driven content company for the startup ecosystem in Africa and diaspora), I am on a mission of providing an online space, tools, knowledge, and data for African startup founders and investors to meet and collaborate openly.

I founded the "Beyond School" of future skills, an online school of creative technologies and global future skills for future-ready leaders.

"My dream is to use data-driven marketing concepts as well as strategies to support African entrepreneurs in strategic decision making and the "Go-to-Market" process.
