About ORIGIN 365

Founded by Ebot Elvis Ako, Origin 365 is a Digital Media and Technology Platform meant to unveil the rich tapestry of the African Business Landscape.  Now transitioned into an ecosystem, we aim to be the definitive resource platform to empower all individuals, including Students, Entrepreneurs, Business leaders, startups, SME, and large enterprises in their respective goals, be it research, support in Technology Adoption, or training courses.  At Origin 365, we believe every business has a story worth telling, a journey filled with ambition, challenges, and breakthroughs. What started as a platform to highlight African businesses has now grown into a thriving ecosystem, supporting entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, startups, and business leaders with the resources they need to scale, innovate, and thrive in the digital era.

 

Our Journey: From Stories to Impact

Origin 365 was founded on a simple but powerful idea: to showcase the remarkable stories of African businesses that are shaping industries, creating jobs, and driving economic growth. However, as we told these stories, we saw an even greater challenge:

 

1. Businesses lacked visibility: many promising startups and SMEs struggled to get the recognition they deserved.

2. Entrepreneurs faced growth barriers: from funding challenges to limited access to digital tools and automation.

3. Sustainability was an afterthought: as businesses scaled, they often overlooked their environmental impact.

 

Seeing these gaps, Origin 365 evolved into a full-scale business ecosystem, offering solutions beyond storytelling and innovation news reports around Africa. Today, we provide:

​

✅ Business Insights & Market Research – Helping businesses make data-driven decisions for long-term success.

✅ Digital Transformation for SMEs – Equipping small businesses with automation, cloud migration, and tech solutions.

✅ Networking & Partnerships – Connecting businesses to investors, mentors, and industry leaders.

✅ Greentech for SMEs Initiative – Encouraging companies to evaluate and reduce their carbon footprint, aligning with sustainable business practices. The Platform now even features an impact-led foundation known as O-Thrive, dedicated to sustainable development and Technological Innovations in Africa. We not only preach change, but we can also lead it.

​

Our Vision:
