Announcing the Inaugural Steve Chia Legacy Scholars

Startup Ripple is delighted to announce the launch of the Steve Chia Legacy Scholarship and the selection of its inaugural cohort of five scholars from Jos Ecwa Theological Seminary (JETS).
Each scholar will receive ₦100,000 toward their theological education, alongside a formation journey designed to carry forward Engr. Steve Chia’s commitment to discipleship, integrity, service, and a faith that shapes everyday life and society.

We are especially pleased to partner with the prof. Mipo Dadang through the Mipo Dadang Foundation, which will support the mentorship and formation of the scholars. Our vision is that this becomes more than financial assistance—it is an investment in people and the communities they will go on to serve.

This inaugural cohort represents the seed of a much bigger vision: building a sustainable Steve Chia Legacy Endowment Fund that can continue supporting and forming future generations.
Five scholars. Five stories. The beginning of a living legacy.

Technology. Enterprise. Impact. Continuity.

In the last year, we've had the privilege of working with some incredibly talented founders and business owners.

Skill is not the problem. Passion is not the problem. Most founders have both. But one subtle and often overlooked trap we've observed is comfort.

Not comfort in the traditional sense of doing nothing, but comfort with where the business currently is.

Comfort with the current customers. Comfort with the current revenue. Comfort with the current way of operating. Comfort with being called a startup.

Over time, that comfort becomes dangerous.

Because while the founder is celebrating stability, the market is changing.
Customer expectations are changing.
Technology is changing.
Competition is changing.

And the business begins to drift into irrelevance without noticing.

One lesson we continue to learn is this:

Don't stay in the startup lane for too long. A startup is meant to be a phase, not an identity. The goal is not to remain a startup. The goal is to become a sustainable business.

Watch it. What feels like a comfort zone today may actually be a trap.

Over 7 days, founders in the first cohort of LaunchPadi were challenged to rethink, refine, and strengthen their ventures.
What emerged were not just ideas, but clearer business models, sharper ex*****on pathways, and founders better prepared for the realities of building.
Over the coming days, we’ll be sharing pitches from some of the ventures that emerged from the cohort.

LaunchPadi was designed as more than a program—it was a process. Over five days, we worked closely with founders to refine their ideas, strengthen their models, and prepare them for real market entry and growth.
What emerged were not just pitches, but ventures—clearer, stronger, and ready for the next stage.

Your house can pay you monthly.
Not by selling it.
Not by renting yearly.
But by hosting short stays.
That empty room… that quiet apartment…
people are already looking for it.
👉 Turn empty days into income.
