Hack4Freedom Speaker & Mentor Application

Powered by Evento ✨

Hack4Freedom is a two-week hybrid hackathon designed to empower women across the global south to build open-source tools that strengthen digital freedom.

Participants dive deep into Bitcoin, Lightning, Nostr, and eCash through workshops, mentorship, and hands-on project building—ending the program with working prototypes, GitHub repos, community collaborators, and access to grant programs / job opportunities in the Bitcoin space.

As a mentor or speaker, you’ll help shape the next generation of female Bitcoin builders in Africa, gain meaningful brand visibility for your company, and connect directly with top emerging talent. You can join remotely, share your expertise, and support real open-source innovation across the Global South.

Following the success of our first cohort in Kaduna in 2025, Hack4Freedom is expanding across the continent with five events in 2026: 
1️⃣ Lagos, Nigeria: April 2026
2️⃣ Nairobi, Kenya: Q3 2026
3️⃣ São Paulo, Brazil: Q2 2026
4️⃣ Port Harcourt, Nigeria, Q4 2026
5️⃣ Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Q3 2026

Once we receive your application, we'll send over an email to set up a call for a quick meet and greet!

We will announce official dates soon!
