About us

More Than Just
a Fellowship

We are HeGUTTS, a home for the seeding and building of sound minds. An access point to advanced technology and real-world problem solving for people in the margins.

We're creating – and becoming – a growing ecosystem of thinkers and innovators who can shape the future from wherever they are.

HeGUTTS

He Gives Understanding to the Simple

We are a fellowship built to democratize access to frontier technologies. We believe high-level technical thinking should not be reserved for a few cities or elite labs. Talent exists everywhere; opportunity should too.

We focus on underserved communities, starting with Ogbomoso, identifying curious, driven minds and equipping them with the knowledge, mentorship, and networks to explore advanced fields like quantum computing.

Students learning together

To ignite a long-term culture of frontier technology innovation in underserved communities.

We are doing this by building a knowledge-sharing ecosystem that empowers curious minds to explore, experiment, and create, starting in Ogbomoso. By giving talented individuals the tools, guidance, and collaborative environment they need, HeGUTTS cultivates thinkers and builders who can shape the future of technology from anywhere.

Inspiration

Building a Grassroots Tech Cluster

HeGUTTS is creating a grassroots tech cluster, a hub where fellows experiment, learn from each other, and build real-world solutions together. Curiosity, collaboration, and hands-on problem-solving drive every part of the experience, proving that high-impact innovation can start outside traditional tech centres.

Journey

How HeGUTTS
came to life

The spark

Seun Adepoju envisioned a fellowship that would bring frontier technology to underserved regions.

First cohort

Eight fellows from Ogbomoso began their four-month journey into quantum computing and deep tech.

Community roots

Weekly sessions, mentorship circles, and collaborative projects took shape. The movement was real.

What's next

Building a self-sustaining tech community that continues growing, learning, and innovating beyond the fellowship.

Our Approach

The Four Pillars
of HeGUTTS

Our fellowship is built on principles that make frontier technology accessible to anyone with curiosity and drive.

Fellows collaborating
01

How We Do It

Open Source Tools & Collaborative Learning

You don't need a million-dollar lab to understand quantum computing. We use open-source tools and freely available resources to level the playing field.

02

Guidance

Mentorship From Global Experts

Researchers and technologists from across the world guide fellows through challenges and show what's possible.

03

Community

Intentional Peer Learning

Weekly challenges, peer exchange sessions, and group projects create an environment where fellows sharpen each other's thinking.

04

Sustainability

Building a Movement

Every cohort contributes to a growing, self-sustaining ecosystem of knowledge, innovation, and networks.

Learn, Build and Grow

A fellowship designed
for deep learning and
real impact.

Structured Learning Path

Fellows follow a carefully designed curriculum that builds knowledge step by step, guiding them from foundational concepts to advanced frontier technology skills.

Hands-On Project Work

Learning is applied in real-world challenges and capstone projects, giving fellows practical experience and tangible outcomes they can showcase.

Lifelong Connections

Fellows become part of a supportive network of peers, mentors, and alumni, creating relationships that continue to inspire, guide, and open doors long after the program ends.

A Tech Renaissance From the Margins

This is a deliberate effort to shift what's possible—by starting where people least expect it. What grows here can ripple far beyond Ogbomoso.
