Good evening dear all. Its been a long break where all you heard from us at 7xinc was a deafening silence. We apologize.

We have gotten several messages asking us why we haven't made good on our promise to serve as the beacon that points the way to upcoming entrepreneurs, and ensure that a good number of them survive their fifth year. The outpour of messages revealed several things to us; the challenges for the entrepreneur is sub Saharan Africa is much graver than we'd thought and a lot more young people are enthusiastic about learning the potential pitfalls to avoid if they must transition from a startup to a sustainable brand.

In the coming weeks and months, even as we keep planning for the next phase, we commit to tackling a lot of issues that affect entrepreneurs, especially those in the Sub Saharan Ecosystem, and how to mitigate them.

We would also welcome questions from you on challenges that you are going through in your business and proffer solutions.

We look forward to a robust interaction action ahead.

As a parting word, I make bold to say to you that the true signature of a truly great brand is resilience; don't stop no matter what and refuse to be stopped by what they say would never work. Go ahead and let's change the world together.
Cheers.

Imagine a hen sitting over some eggs. She is brooding them and won't abandon them till they hatch. Even then, she tries to guide them through the ardous task that is survival.
Startup Incubation and Accelerator is a lot like that, or at least ought to be. Sadly, most African accelerators show little acceleration of any business.
It is said that the hen is clueless to the eggs fate, whether it would be eaten or hatched; that is only true for the egg that is abandoned.
At 7x, our passion is to take businesses from eggs to hatchlings, and then on to maturity so as to limit casualty and failure to a bearable minimum.
We would ensure that they have information, funds and knowledge to ensure they thrive seven times better than their contemporaries; that is the 7x way.
At 7x, we help businesses succeed seven times faster!
