Thrive Resilient.

At the heart of ProKofa, there's a story that ignites our passion for technology and inclusivity. It all began when five lifelong friends embarked on a transformative journey at Cleveland's inaugural diverse tech innovation conference. As individuals deeply entrenched in the tech sector, serving various companies and public organizations, we found ourselves drawn into profound conversations about a shared vision — a vision to harness our skills in a concerted effort to uplift underrepresented businesses.

 

The conference served as a pivotal moment, revealing a dual realization: the staggering need for technological empowerment within underrepresented communities and the profound impact we could make by providing technical guidance and solutions delivery using open-source, free, and low-cost solutions.

 

And so, ProKofa was born — a beacon of hope and change in the tech consultancy landscape.

 

So, What’s in a Name?

Derived from the fusion of two powerful symbols, our name, ProKofa, encapsulates the essence of our mission. It's a blend of the myth of Prometheus, who stole fire from the heavens and bestowed it upon the people, and the symbolism of Sankofa, an African word from the Akan tribe in Ghana.  Sankofa translates to “it is not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind.” It is born from the Akan words: SAN (return), KO (go), and FA (look, seek, and take). The Sankofa symbolizes the Akan people’s quest for knowledge, grounded in critical examination and intelligent, patient investigation — principles that form the bedrock of what ProKofa stands for.

 

Our Mission:

At Prokofa, we are on a mission to democratize data access and technology. We believe in the power of technology to bridge gaps, break barriers, and empower underrepresented businesses. Our commitment lies in critical examination, intelligent investigation, and patient guidance as we strive to bring tech enablement to those who need it the most.

​

To the Future. Together. 

Join us on this journey where technology becomes a catalyst for positive change — a journey rooted in the spirit of Prometheus and guided by the wisdom of Sankofa.
