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.
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.
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.
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.
Guidance
Mentorship From Global Experts
Researchers and technologists from across the world guide fellows through challenges and show what's possible.
Community
Intentional Peer Learning
Weekly challenges, peer exchange sessions, and group projects create an environment where fellows sharpen each other's thinking.
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.
