The milestones that built the company.

10+ years. Four founders. One stubborn belief that great software gets made in Africa, with the people who will use it.

OUR STORY

2015

First Lines of Code

Four founders meet at the Hehe code club. They build their first Android games for children. The apps gain little traction but spark an obsession with building things that work for real people.

Failing Forward

A rough year. The team applies to almost every startup competition in Rwanda and fails at all of them. Rather than wait for someone to invest, they bootstrap. They fund their own first office, buy equipment, and keep going. By December, a Seedstars competition win (first runner up) changes the trajectory.

Taking Off

Seedstars gives the team the confidence to push harder. They spend the year building the brand, signing client after client, and expanding beyond Rwanda for the first time, into DRC, Nigeria, and Guinea. A proper office. A growing team. Real momentum.

Volkswagen Calls

After months of competitive bidding, Awesomity wins the contract to build Move, Volkswagen's new mobility app for Rwanda. It is the kind of project that changes what a company thinks it is capable of.

Move Becomes Rwanda's Biggest App

Move launches and the adoption is extraordinary. Over 100,000 rides are completed within the first month, making Move the biggest made-in-Rwanda app by usage. The same year, Awesomity wins the Government of Rwanda's UI/UX Challenge, earning the opportunity to redesign gov.rw and all government ministry and embassy websites.

RDB Award and a Pandemic

The year opens with Awesomity winning one of Rwanda's most prestigious business recognitions: the RDB Excellence Award for Young Entrepreneur of the Year.

Then, like everyone else, the team navigates a global pandemic. They keep the business growing and the culture strong through months of remote work.

Service Excellence ITO Award Winner

Awesomity was recognized with the Service Excellence award in IT Outsourcing at the GBS Recognition Awards Gala 2025. This isn't just a trophy, it's a reflection of countless late night brainstorms, complex problems turned into solutions, and a team that never compromises on quality.

What has not changed

The founders who sat in a college library in 2015, learning by building, are still building. The problems are bigger. The team is larger. The clients are more demanding. But the thing that made it work then — showing up, asking better questions, and caring about the outcome — still drives the work today. This is what made-in-Africa technology looks like when it is given room to grow. We are not done yet.
