MEMBERSHIP NEVER EXPIRES
The Nest is not a mailing list or a networking event. It is an active, verified community of people who are building things in the Western Region using each other's networks, knowledge, and connections to go further than any of them could go alone. Every track of Duapa Werkspace leads here.
500+ verified entrepreneurs & graduates
Every member has been through a Duapa track. Every connection is intentional. Need a partner, mentor, or first customer — start here.
Grants & seed capital for the Nest members
For members who have demonstrated business viability. Priority to Launch Track and Growth Track graduates who have hit their milestones.
Equipment & assets — no bank required

Your permanent place in the community
Complete any track and your Membership activates — alumni directory, event discounts, cooperative access, and cross-track referrals. It never expires.

VERIFIED NEST MEMBERS
The alumni network spans rice milling, egg processing, plastic recycling, solar installation, fashion, software, agriculture, food processing, and more — all based in Ghana's Western Region.
Every member has passed through a Duapa track, so every connection comes with context and community trust already built in. When you need a co-founder, a supplier who delivers, or a mentor who's been where you are — this is where you find them.
COMMUNITY COOPERATIVE - A REAL STORY
Asset financing for the businesses banks won't touch.
The Community Cooperative looks at community trust and business viability — not collateral. That's a different kind of due diligence, and it works where banks don't.
