Our history
The idea behind Techloy (formerly StartupsNigeria.com – now defunct) was born in 2008 from Loy Okezie's Parisien shared apartment, while studying for his post-graduate programme in France. The blog was his way of keeping up with and chronicling the nascent technological developments out of Africa and the rest of the world.
From its early beginnings as a blog, Techloy obsessively profiled startups, broke the biggest news, reported exclusive stories, produced stellar reviews, crafted incisive opinions, and produced a thought-provoking analysis of the nascent technology startup ecosystem in Africa.

Our vision
Techloy's goal is to become a leading technology company providing business, career, and financial information for the technology industry in emerging markets globally.
To date, Techloy remains independent, bootstrapped, and privately held, which differentiates us in the increasingly complicated tech media landscape – and as such, we are free from the influence of any government, corporate, or individual interests.
