Wentors

What Wentors does

Wentors is a Lagos, Nigeria-based virtual mentorship and career-development platform serving women in technology across five structured cohort programs: DiscovHer (beginners), LaunchHer (0–3 years experience), AccelerateHer (4–8 years), PrimeHer (senior leaders and executives), and FoundHer (women tech founders, pre-seed to Series A), plus a Wentors Lite tier of on-demand masterclasses. Programs are delivered virtually through live video sessions, mentorship circles, webinars, and an online community portal, with payments processed via Paystack, Stripe, or direct Nigerian bank transfer at fixed one-time fees ranging from NGN 80,000 to NGN 800,000 per program.

The company is privately held, operates with 1–10 employees, and claims to have mentored 10,000+ women from 30+ countries with 1,000+ careers launched. Its GTM is community-led and self-serve: participants purchase through wentors.com, awareness is built via website content, social media, newsletter, and Lagos-based meetups, and credibility is reinforced through testimonials and a wide roster of corporate sponsors (Dell, Barclays, MetLife, Amazon Pay, Sterling Bank, Safaricom) and training partners (DataCamp, Tech4Dev, BluStrat). The founder, EduAbasi Chukwunweike, is concurrently Partner and Start-up lead for Microsoft West Africa; Unoma Adeyemi serves as CEO and co-founder, and Mfon Ekpo as Director.

Wentors generates revenue primarily through one-time program fees, supplemented by sponsor-funded cohort delivery and CSR-style partnerships; there are no disclosed funding rounds, no disclosed annual revenue, no patents, and no AI/ML capabilities documented in the available data. Geographic reach is claimed globally but the pricing, banking relationships, and headquarters are concentrated in Nigeria, indicating limited localization beyond the African and EMEA focus stated in source material.
