GTAP: Empowering Aspiring Growth Hackers

Launched in March 2022, GTAP is designed to bridge the talent gap in Africa’s booming tech startup ecosystem. The program equips individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel as growth hackers – a specialized marketing role focused on rapid user acquisition and business growth.

Measurable Success and Identified Needs

Since its pilot program, GTAP has yielded promising results. Bili Sule, Founder and Chief Growth Officer of alGROWithm, highlights two key needs identified through the initial run:

1. High Demand for Growth Talent: Companies are actively seeking skilled growth hackers, evidenced by the rapid employment of past GTAP graduates.
2. Upskilling Existing Teams: Many businesses prefer to upskill their current workforce rather than hire entirely new talent.
