The journey from an idea to a winning startup is never easy, but ULE Homes has proven that determination and innovation truly pay off.
We’re incredibly proud to celebrate ULÉ Homes, founded by NUTM alumni, for emerging as the $10,000 grand prize winner of the Moonshot by TechCabal Battlefield Pitch Competition. Out of thousands of applicants across Africa, ULÉ Homes rose to the top, impressing judges with its bold vision and practical approach to solving one of Nigeria’s most pressing challenges: housing accessibility.
ULÉ Homes is redefining how Nigerians access housing by offering a model where “Be Homes pays your rent, you just have to qualify.” It’s a revolutionary idea in a market where many face hurdles meeting yearly rent payments upfront. With ULÉ Homes, tenants can live more flexibly, while landlords enjoy reliable, structured returns, a win-win for both sides of the rental market.
Behind this innovation is a passionate founding team: Omolade Akinwumi, Chisom Okorie, and Abdulyekeen Abdulazeez, whose shared vision for smarter housing solutions embodies the resilience, creativity, and purpose-driven thinking that the Nigerian University of Technology and Management (NUTM) stands for.
“This win is more than a prize, it’s proof that when young Nigerian minds are empowered with knowledge, mentorship, and opportunity, they can create real impact,” said a NUTM representative.
As ULÉ Homes takes this next step in their journey, their story serves as a reminder of what’s possible when innovation meets purpose. Congratulations once again to the entire ULÉ Homes team, your victory is not just a win for you, but for every young African entrepreneur daring to dream big.
