About Us

Shega is a high-quality media, data, and research company that is in the business of making the Ethiopian and African innovative economy make sense.

Shega offers two main products:

Shega Media is a news, analysis, reports, visuals, and a weekly newsletter covering Ethiopia’s innovative ecosystem and soon expanding to other African markets starting from East Africa.

Shega Insight is a B2B data, research, and advisory platform and service for bussiness, startups, tech companies, investors, and development organizations to help them make better decisions.

Think of a mix of Bloomberg + Techcrunch and CB Insight for emerging markets. That is what we are building. We are now a go platform for the Ethiopian Innovative scene and are backed by leading and experienced advisors from Ethiopia, Kenya, India, and the US. Some of the clients we have served so far include World Bank, Catch Taxi, Sway Venture, CIPE, The Palladium Group, Payway, Hulugram, and The Baobab Network. Some of our partners include Crunchbase, Visa, Startup Guide, and Briter Bridges.

If all of this excites you and want to build cool things with us, read more.
