What does it look like when African women are given the environment, support, and opportunity to build? Saturday marked the grand finale of the DadaHub Residency Program with Pitch Day, a session where participants presented the products and solutions they had spent the last four weeks building. Unlike our regular learning sessions, this one carried a different kind of energy. The Dadas were no longer just learning concepts or exploring ideas. They were confidently presenting real projects, sharing their thought processes, and demonstrating solutions grounded in African realities.

One conversation can change the trajectory of your project. Many founders, developers, and open-source contributors have found mentors, collaborators, funders, and even job opportunities through conversations that happened before, during, or after an event. Here are a few networking tips to help you make the most of your next event: 1. Be curious before trying to impress people 2. Introduce yourself confidently and clearly 3. Ask people what they're building and listen carefully 4. Exchange contacts with intention, not just for the sake of collecting connections 5.Follow up within 24–48 hours while the conversation is still fresh The Bitcoin ecosystem is built by people. Sometimes the opportunity you're looking for is sitting in the chair next to you. Which networking mistake do you think people make the most? πŸ‘‡ Ps: If you're a UI/UX or product designer curious about Bitcoin, the Bitcoin Designers meetup in collaboration with Bitdesigners Africa is an opportunity to learn how designers contribute to open-source projects, connect with Bitcoin builders, and explore opportunities within the ecosystem. Expect insightful talks, a hands-on workshop, and conversations with people designing products for the future. πŸ“ Blockchain Centre NBO, Nairobi (@BCentreNBO) πŸ“… June 16th 2026 Click the link below πŸ‘‡ to secure your spot luma.com/apv6zbwy #DadaDevs #WomenInBitcoin #BitcoinBuilders #OpenSource #WomenInTech

Nairobi Designers, your seat is still open. This is a final call for registration Bitcoin products need more than code to succeed. They need thoughtful design, better user experiences, and people who understand how to build for real users. That's why Dada Devs and @bitdesigners are bringing the Bitcoin Designers Meetup to Nairobi. If you've been curious about Bitcoin, open source, or how your design skills can contribute to the ecosystem, this is a room worth being in. Come learn, connect with builders, share ideas, and meet other designers exploring opportunities within Bitcoin. πŸ“ Blockchain Centre NBO, Nairobi (@BCentreNBO) πŸ“… June 16th 11:00am– 2:00pm Register here: luma.com/apv6zbwy We'll see you in Nairobi. #DadaDevs #BuildOnBitcoin #WomenInTech #BitcoinDevelopers #OpenSource

If you could build one Bitcoin application, what problem would you be solving? πŸ‘€βš‘ Would it be: - cheaper cross-border payments? - better savings tools? - merchant payments? - remittances? - financial access for underserved communities? - easier onboarding for new Bitcoin users? Or something completely different?

🟠 What is Bitcoin LARP? LARP stands for Live Action Role Play β€” a fun and interactive way of learning Bitcoin. Instead of sitting through a presentation, participants step into different roles within the Bitcoin network, helping them understand how transactions are created, verified, and recorded on the blockchain. We use Bitcoin LARP because some Bitcoin concepts can be difficult to grasp through theory alone. By experiencing the network in action, participants gain a much deeper understanding of how Bitcoin works and why it matters. It's hands-on, engaging, and one of the most enjoyable ways to learn about decentralization, consensus, and the Bitcoin protocol. πŸ‘€ Last weekend, our community got the chance to experience Bitcoin LARP firsthand. Stay tuned as we share highlights and key moments from the session over the next few days. #Bitcoin #BitcoinEducation #BitcoinDada

Sometimes, the hardest part of building something new is believing it can exist in the first place. Every founder starts with a problem they can’t ignore. And somewhere between the uncertainty, the late nights, and the β€œwill this even work?” moments… solutions begin to take shape. That’s what DadaHub is becoming. A space where African women are not just learning tech, but building ideas, tools, and infrastructure that speak to real African problems. Because innovation becomes more powerful when the people closest to the problem are part of creating the solution. If you’re interested in partnering with us or joining the next cohort of the DadaHub Residency, we’d love to hear from you. πŸ“© Email: hello@dadahub.org #DadaHub #WomenInTech #AfricanInnovation #BuildForAfrica

Happy New Month, Builders A new month means new things to learn, new ideas to explore, and new opportunities to build. Whether you're making your first contribution, learning a new skill, attending a workshop, fixing bugs, or simply figuring things out one step at a time, every effort counts. We're excited to continue creating spaces where more women can learn, collaborate, experiment, and grow within Bitcoin, open-source, and technology. CheersπŸ₯‚ to another month of building, learning from one another, and becoming better than we were yesterday. #DadaDevs #BuildOnBitcoin #WomenInTech #BitcoinDevelopers #OpenSource

Day 8 of #Hack4Freedom Lagos with @marcelorraine – founder of @btc_dada & @DadaDevs A masterclass on financial freedom, ownership, and why African women must build, not just use. Key takeaways: πŸ”Ή Financial freedom = ownership dignity. It reduces domestic violence and builds generational wealth. πŸ”Ή Shift from consumer to builder – contribute to Bitcoin infrastructure, don't just adopt it. πŸ”Ή Only 3% of open source contributors are women. Yet 88% of African technical talent pipeline is female. Don't just fill seats. Build the table. ⚑🧑

Yesterday marked the final session of the UI/UX & AI Pathway and what a way to wrap up 4 weeks of learning, building, and experimentation. In the final class, @MouxDesign took participants through how to build and ship an actual mobile application to the App Store using Claude Code and AI-assisted workflows. From choosing templates and setting up environments, to building MVP screens and preparing apps for launch, the session showed just how much faster product development can become when research, design thinking, and AI work together. One thing that stood out throughout the pathway was watching female developers and designers turn ideas into products people could actually interact with, test, and experience. A strong finish to an incredibly thoughtful and hands-on pathway

β€œSatoshi is female” keeps sounding more believable every day 😭 Because whoever designed Bitcoin clearly understood how to think long-term, pay attention to tiny details, manage complexity, and build systems that keep running no matter what. From nodes, to the mempool, to the way transactions move across the network, Bitcoin was built with an insane level of structure and intentionality. And honestly… that kind of detailed coordination feels very familiar and feminine. Nobody knows who Satoshi is. But until proven otherwise, the women of DadaHub will continue defending the allegations. πŸ‘©πŸ½β€πŸ’»βš‘ Merch available for those who get it.😜 0118790358 #SatoshiIsFemale #DadaHub #BitcoinDada #WomenInBitcoin #Bitcoin
