From Mauritania to the Global Stage
NIL has partnered with Startup World Cup, powered by Pegasus Tech Ventures, to establish a pathway for Mauritanian startups to access one of the world’s leading global startup competitions.
Through the 2026 regional selection, an eligible startup from Mauritania will have the opportunity to advance to the Startup World Cup Grand Finale in San Francisco, connecting local entrepreneurial talent with an international network of founders, investors and technology leaders.
For NIL, this partnership reflects a broader ambition: building the missing bridges between Mauritania’s emerging entrepreneurial ecosystem and global markets, expertise and capital.
We don’t lack talent. We lack pathways. We’re building them.
NIL is an ecosystem acceleration platform for overlooked markets.
Talent is everywhere. Access to opportunity isn't.
NIL builds the connections that help promising ideas become viable businesses, and emerging ecosystems become visible to the world.
Starting in Mauritania, we connect entrepreneurs to the expertise, institutions, markets, and capital they need to grow.
Through founder-building programs, strategic partnerships, and international networks, we create pathways where they are missing.
We don't just support founders. We build the ecosystem around them.
We build what's missing.
