It is easier for 1,000 people to donate 1,000 naira each for your business,
making it 1million naira, than for one person to donate 1milion naira at once for your business.
You having this capital in bulk is important to set your business moving.
BloomCity Challenge is a fast way for businesses to raise bulk capital in one month, and in addition, win a free brand new website. Here, you pack whatever amount that has been voted for your business every month, in bulk.
We enable new and growing businesses turn ideas into action. We believe that access to capital should not be a barrier to innovation, especially for passionate entrepreneurs who are ready to build, create jobs, and solve real problems. Through structured challenges, practical guidance, and community support, BloomCity helps founders raise funds, engage supporters, and grow confidence in their vision. At our core, BloomCity is about unlocking potential, one business, one story, and one bold step at a time.

We like to explain briefly how the BloomCity Challenge works for Participants.
The idea of the BloomCity Challenge is to help businesses especially startups and new ventures to gather funds and build their capital. Many people say, "I have the business idea, I have the business plan, but I don't have the money to start the business." Others say, "I don't have anyone to help me with capital to start my business."
You see, it may be difficult for one person to just give you 1million naira to start a business. But it is easier for 1,000 people to give you 1,000 naira each. This amounts to 1million naira. So, once you register at BloomCity, the total money that different people vote or contribute in your name is what you pack at the end of the month. Yes, the challenge runs every month. All you need to do is to encourage the people you know, or who you meet, to vote for your business in this challenge.
It is not a competition because so long as you register, you will pack what has been voted for you by people, at the end of the month.
It even gets more interesting to know that the minimum vote is just 100 naira. Yes, people can vote with as little as 100 naira for your business. So the number of people who vote for your business during the challenge season determines how much you pack at the end of the month. But people can also vote with a bigger amount in your name, and as many times as they want. You'll still pack whatever everybody votes in your name.
And there is a winning twist too. The top 10 participants win one year visibility slots on our website and the top 5 win a brand new website hosted by us for one year. All these are in addition to the funds disbursed to you from the total votes you accumulate for your business.
This is a beautiful way of helping your business to stand and bloom because the economy is not smiling, but your business must smile.
You can join as a Referrer too!
When you refer friends and loved ones to become participants at BloomCity, you accumulate your own Blooms when these participants receive votes, and you also pack these at the end of the month. Your Current Blooms enable you to climb through the ranks just as participants do. At the end of a season, participants can choose to become referrers or join another season, to continue climbing through the ranks.
At Rank 1 - BloomCity Referrer (or Participant) - you earn 1% of what the person you refer, gets.
At Rank 2 - BloomCity Champion - you get 2% of the votes that comes in for the person you referred.
At Rank 3 - BloomCity Ambassador - you get 3% of the total amount your referral gets.
At Rank 4 - BloomCity Indigene - you get 4%.
At Rank 5 - BloomCity Chief - you get 5%.
You continue getting these bonuses as long as your referrals are receiving votes. Yes, your business must bloom.
