AbstractCite Poverty alleviation is one of the significant problems that social enterprise wants to solve. It could be absolute, relative, generational, situational, urban, or rural poverty in Africa. There are scanty literature and a shallow understanding of how technology intervenes for social entrepreneurship in a developing context. This study was conducted to address the identified gap. Quantitative method was used to gather data from the respondents utilizing Nigerian samples. This study used SPSS ver. 26 and Python for the descriptive statistics and 5 Likert Scales data analysis for 33 measurement items. The result shows that Nigeria’s social enterprise focused on social issues such as social vision, social need, social change, social goal, social value, social mission, and social efforts. The knowledge of SME owners’ insights on business start-ups in Nigeria and how social entrepreneurship could facilitate business growth and renewal is essential for future pursuit of social entrepreneurship. The importance of communication, operational, social, and collaborative technology was highlighted, and the study concluded with limitations and future research opportunities. Olaleye, S.
