About — est. Lagos, 2022
A party that became a movement
It's not very often that an excuse to throw a party turns into an opportunity to serve a community — but that's exactly how YPIT started. Founded in Lagos in 2022, Young People In Tech has grown into a global community of over 11,000 tech and tech-adjacent professionals who need a space to learn, shine and grow with people just like them.
What makes us different isn't the events, the Innovation Hub or the newsletters — it's our commitment to what defines the essence of community: mutual support that leads to growth for everyone involved.

Where it all began
What started as an excuse to throw a party became a community. The first YPIT Series event brings young tech professionals together in Lagos.

The Series finds its rhythm
Series C and D pack out venues. The Innovation Hub launches — design, tech, marketing and writing teams run by the community, for the community.

10,000 strong
The community crosses five figures, featured by TechCabal as 'a party with a purpose'. Members now span Nigeria, the UK and beyond — with events in Lagos, London and Glasgow.

The 9th edition lands in Lagos with the Series' largest turnout ever, while the team spends the year mapping Nigeria's emerging AI ecosystem.
