We help early teams grow 2–3× in 16 weeks.
A venture studio in Lagos and Lisbon for SaaS, marketplace and climate founders between first revenue and Series A. We take no equity until you hit the growth target we set together.
Growth became a performance. Decks, vanity dashboards, borrowed playbooks. Founders don’t need a spotlight. They need first light: structure, honest numbers, and people who have done it before.
Sixteen weeks,
five phases.
Every cohort follows the same arc. Each phase ends with a number you agreed on in week zero, and we review it every Friday. Program details
Mentors who have done it.
Every founder gets a lead mentor and a bench of specialists. Office hours are booked like meetings, not favours. Meet all 12 mentors
Every number, every Friday.
Each company reports into one shared board. This is Cohort 08 in its final week.
