Why Join Founders Conference 2026

This is not a motivational event. It's a working session for founders who've survived the first years and are now wrestling with the harder questions — how to grow revenue predictably, build teams that don't fall apart, access the right capital, and make better decisions under pressure.

Every session is designed around a specific problem. Every speaker has lived it. You'll walk out with tools you can use the following week.

Revenue

How to build sales engines that don't depend on the founder to close every deal.

Capital

What investors actually want — and how to position your business to get it.

Operations

Systems that let your business grow without depending entirely on you.

Brand

Why your story is a growth lever — and how to use it before the traction shows up.

Resilience

How to make clear decisions when the market, the economy, and your team are all uncertain.

People

Hiring, leading, and retaining talent in a market where great people have options.

What's on the Agenda

Six sessions. Each one built around a specific challenge facing growth-stage founders in Nigeria today.

9:00 AM
KEYNOTE
The Revenue Problem Nobody Talks About

You're past product-market fit — so why is revenue still inconsistent? This session breaks down how to build a repeatable sales structure that works without the founder in the room.
With Bunmi Jembola, CEO, SalesRuby.

10:30 AM
PANEL
Raising Capital in a Tough Market

What's actually changed in the funding environment and how founders are adapting their pitch, their terms, and their runway expectations.
Featuring Babatunde Akin-Moses, Co-Founder & CEO, Sycamore.

12:00 PM
MASTERCLASS
Building a Sales Team That Doesn't Need You

A practical framework for hiring, training, and holding a sales team accountable — without micromanaging. Led by Bunmi Jembola. You'll leave with a hiring scorecard and a 90-day onboarding structure.

2:00 PM
MASFIRESIDE CHATTERCLASS
How to Tell Your Story Before the Numbers Are Big

Storytelling as a business weapon — how Sycamore built credibility, unlocked partnerships, and attracted investors before they were a household name.
With Babatunde Akin-Moses.

3:30 PM
WORKSHOP
Decision-Making Under Pressure

An interactive session on how to make faster, better decisions — on hiring, pricing, partnerships, and exits — when the information is incomplete and the stakes are real.

5:00 PM
CLOSING SESSION
The Next 12 Months: What You Should Actually Focus On

A brutally honest conversation about priorities — what growth-stage founders should double down on, what to cut, and what the most successful businesses in Nigeria have in common right now.
