An evening for founders, investors and partners in Nigeria's startup community. Thursday 12 November 2026, doors open at 7pm, Eko Convention Centre.
The invitation
The Gala is a dinner, not a conference. No exhibition stands and no long panels — just a good evening with people worth knowing.
We are expecting a few hundred guests: founders, the investors who backed them, our partners, and a small number of journalists.
This invitation is for you only and cannot be passed on. Space is limited, so please confirm early.
Come ready to meet people. We hope you leave with a few new contacts.— The organising team
