Have you ever had one of those moments when you’re so deep into what you’re doing that you forget to take a step back?Â
Or maybe you're just so tired that you can’t imagine pushing any further, but somehow, you still stay locked in?Â
We saw a tweet from Web3bridge recently that perfectly captured that feeling. It was a picture of one of their students literally asleep next to a banner that read, "What are you doing with your life?" The irony was too good.Â
This student, who looked like he was in deep sleep, was literally living his life by sleeping through it.Â
We couldn’t help but laugh, but it also got us thinking—sometimes, even when we're worn out, we keep going. And honestly, we’ve all been there.
January felt like one of those months for us.Â
We stayed locked in, working on everything we’ve promised, and we’re thrilled to finally share all the exciting things that happened and the even bigger things we’ve got lined up for February.Â

It all started with a big step forward for us—our second AyaHQ Builder Hub in Kilifi, Kenya.
For us, this wasn’t just about setting up another hub; it was about creating a launchpad where ideas could turn into projects and founders could find the resources to make their dreams come alive.
From the moment we opened the doors, we could feel the energy shift.
This hub wasn’t just a building—it was a place of growth, and we knew it would soon become a home for so many incredible builders. This wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Lisk.
If you're in Kilifi, Kenya, we can't recommend enough that you stop by and see for yourself
We held an AMA session with the Lisk team to talk about our incubation program, what it offers, and how it’s designed to help founders. If you missed it, no worries—you can catch the full recording!
Registration for AyaHQ x Lisk Cohort 2 is still on going. If you're a founder looking to take your project to the next level, this is the program for you. It’s much more than just incubation; it's an opportunity to grow and scale in ways you might not have imagined.
After months of training and mentorship, the 12 founders in our incubation program will be pitching their projects on Friday, February 7, 2025. Come check out some exciting new ideas and innovations from these talented founders!
We’re hitting the road! AyaHQ x Lisk will be hosting roadshows in four different countries and five locations. First stop: Ghana(Accra and Kumasi) and then Kilifi, Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda.
