From startup hub to
integrated innovation partner

BongoHive started with a simple question: what would happen if Zambia’s most ambitious builders had a place to come together?

Our Story

In 2011, that question became a physical space — a hub where founders could work, learn, and access mentorship. It worked. Within a few years, hundreds of startups had come through our doors, and corporations started asking how they could tap into the same energy.

So we evolved. We built consulting and AI capabilities to serve organisations directly. We launched structured programmes to support founders more effectively. We opened our workspace to professionals and teams who wanted to be part of an ecosystem, not just rent a desk.

Today, BongoHive operates as one integrated organisation with five connected capabilities: innovation and tech consulting, AI Lab, entrepreneurship and coworking. Each one feeds the others. It’s one ecosystem — and everything is connected.

It’s one ecosystem — and everything is connected.

Our Team

The people behind our work

We are a diverse team of innovators, programme managers, devs, and community builders united by one mission: co-creating sustainable solutions through technology and entrepreneurship to unlock Africa’s economic potential.

What drives us

Build, don't just advise

We implement. Every consulting engagement, AI project, and programme is designed to produce tangible output — not slide decks.

Local expertise, global standards

We know Zambian markets, regulations, and business culture. We apply international methodologies and tools.

Ecosystem over isolation

We connect corporates to startups, founders to mentors, and technologists to real-world problems. Isolation doesn’t scale.

Prove it with data

We track outcomes — funding raised, revenue generated, jobs created, challenges solved. If we can’t measure it, we don’t claim it.
