Helping Women Entrepreneurs Take Control of Their Business Finances! A growing business needs more than sales. It needs good financial records, effective expense tracking, and the right tools to support everyday operations. This Saturday, as part of the YandyTech Innovation Fund (YIF) 2026, we're welcoming Abigael Adesina to facilitate a practical session on Financial Tracking & Productivity Tools. Our participants will explore how to better organise their business finances, monitor income and expenses, and leverage digital tools to improve productivity and make more informed business decisions. The goal is simple: helping entrepreneurs build better systems for managing their businesses and making growth more sustainable. We're looking forward to an insightful and practical session! #YIF2026 #YandyTechCommunity #WomenEntrepreneurs #FinancialManagement #BusinessGrowth

Eight Years. Thousands of Stories. One Community. Every journey begins somewhere. For some, it was their first tech training. For others, it was a workshop, a new friendship, a certificate, a mentorship opportunity, or that one experience that opened the door to something bigger. For eight years, YandyTech Community has been part of many such moments. And behind every programme, event and milestone are people whose stories deserve to be remembered. Were you part of the YandyTech journey? We want to hear from you! As we celebrate 8 years of YandyTech Community, we are putting together a community archive to preserve the faces, memories and experiences that have shaped who we are today. Have an old photograph from a YandyTech event? A certificate from your first training? A video, screenshot, memorable experience or story about how YandyTech impacted your journey? We would love for you to share it with us. Whether you joined us eight years ago or just eight days ago, you are part of this story. Because YandyTech's story isn't just about the programmes we've organised or the milestones we've achieved. It's about the people who made it all possible. Let's bring those memories together and tell our story through the people who lived it. Share your YandyTech story here: bit.ly/YTCCall4Stories Eight years of impact. Eight years of people. And countless stories worth preserving. #YandyTechAt8 #HumansOfYandyTech

Amazing bro! I remember when I was introduced to a techstars partner back when I was building ScholarX! I pitched her, then I told her about what @docneto was building with @WellaHealth I couldn’t resist! Guess who got selected? Wellahealth! I believed so much that, on demo day, I did the quick two hr drive from Houston to Austin to watch Neto pitch! Supporting fellow builders is what builders do!
