📊 [Just Dropped] The SHA Score is LIVE!

🌟 Builder's Note

This is Day 005 of my 90-Day Challenge to build StartupHub.Africa to $1K MRR.

I’m building Startup Hub Africa into Africa’s #1 startup intelligence platform — in public.

✅ One AI-powered feature shipped every week

✅ One newsletter every Friday

✅ One goal: hit $1,000 MRR in 90 days

This week’s release? Something 🔥

🚀 Feature of the Week: SHA Score is LIVE

SHA Score is now public — the continent’s first AI-powered ranking system for African startups.

📊 Scores reflect real signals:

• 📈 Growth (funding, revenue, team)
• 🌐 Visibility (media, online reach)
• 🛡️ Credibility (investors, product traction)

🔗 Every startup now has a public SHA Score page with social preview, mobile-first UI, and a badge-worthy shareable link.

🧠 Why This Matters?

Startups in Africa don’t always get the spotlight, but the SHA Score changes that!

We’re not ranking fluff.
We’re ranking traction.

The SHA Score is already tracking:
✅ 2,500+ startups
✅ 3,500+ investors
✅ 5,000+ news + funding signals

It’s Crunchbase meets Product Hunt… powered by AI, built for Africa.

Did You Know? The first tech unicorn in Africa was Jumia, founded in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2012. It became the first African startup to list on the New York Stock Exchange in 2019, marking a major milestone for the continent’s digital economy. 🇳🇬🚀

Till next Friday,
