We are thrilled to announce the winners of this month’s Grant, two visionary entrepreneurs who are making waves in the creative industry!

AMAKA Grants is our latest program aimed at giving back to the creative community. Each month, we will award $500 subscription credit to two deserving businesses. This credit can be used towards a software subscription of their choice, whether it's a tool like Canva to elevate your design work, HubSpot to streamline your marketing efforts, or any other software that supports your business needs.

But that’s not all. We understand that having the right tools is just the beginning. To truly succeed, you need the knowledge and guidance to make the most of those tools. That’s why recipients of AMAKA Grants will also receive complimentary consultations from our experienced team. During these sessions, we’ll provide tailored advice on how to find and commission creative talent that aligns with your business goals, ensuring that you get the most out of your software and your team.

Please congratulate this month's winners!
