Call me Crazy - I officially launched a Tech Startup

After 4 months of rigorous learning, unlearning and building, I am super excited and proud to be graduating from the Founder Institute Pre-Seed Accelerator Program (Lagos Virtual Spring 2022). I remember Wande Adalemo (Director, FI Lagos) saying during one of our earlier sessions that only crazy people build startups and I don't disagree at all, especially when you are building in Nigeria.

At Founder Institute, we re-launched Corporate Bestie, as an all-in-one incorporation and regulatory compliance tool that enables founders and entrepreneurs to incorporate, launch and scale their businesses without stress or complex paperwork. Founder Institute is the world's largest pre-seed accelerator program with over 6,000 Graduate companies including Udemy, Esusu and BetaStore, and over 25,000+ mentors.

I'm also honored to have been nominated as President of my graduating cohort VI and look forward to all the amazing things we'll achieve together going forward.

As a company, Corporate Bestie is committed to providing a world where people who identify as Entrepreneurs and Founders - the people who are changing the world with their big ideas get all the support they need to succeed; and this is why I particularly love and enjoyed the FI program.

Founder Institute is for us what we are, to entrepreneurs. The learning sessions were excellently delivered, the mentors gave honest, practicable feedback designed to help refine and drive us forward; and just being in the company of fellow Founders who understand the startup journey and inspire you to keep going was such a blessing.

On this note, I want to say a big thank you to the Founder Institute Lagos team, Directors and Mentors for an amazing program. Congratulations to my fellow founders, I wish us all the best! A special shout out to my team at Corporate Bestie for the relentless work all the way!

Let's keep building!

It's my birthday today 🎂 and I'm so thankful for all my blessings!

Inspite of the pain, loss, stress, disappointment and everything in between one thing remains...God is the greatest!

Happy birthday to my co-celebrants and as well. 💛💛

I'll be spending my birthday on the 9th of April, 2022 with the good people of discussing Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Wealth Creation in Africa

There are so many biases held against women worldwide, culturally, politically, in the workplace etc but the most painful and distrubing are the biases against women found in the church and by so called 'church people'.

The church should be a place of comfort and reassurance that irrespective of gender, age, race, financial status or marital status, women matter. God is not discriminatory.

Today, I speak up against biases and encourage everyone, everywhere to against women.

To women everywhere, Happy International Women's Day. Keep pushing yourself against the limits!

Over the last 7 years, my friendship with Daniel Chinagozi has been quite consistent in so many ways, even when so many things have changed about us.

For starters, we have grown by leaps and bounds, cheeks and tummy 😂😂.

What has stayed the most consistent with us is that we have continued to chase the same vision, to build an ecosystem where ideas thrive, businesses are built and innovation grows.

It is why we have continued to support innovation and entrepreneurship development in South East Nigeria through out company, Innovation Growth Hub

It is also why we have consistently organized and facilitated Techstars Global Startup Weekend in Aba and Umuahia over the years, bringing together entrepreneurs, designers, developers, marketers and business enthusiasts to turn ideas into solutions in 54 hours.

This weekend, we are doing it again!

We are hosting Startup Weekend Aba and bringing magic to innovation and entrepreneurship!

If you're in the city of Aba with interest in entrepreneurship and innovation, find your way to IGHub Innovation City, 10 Calabar Street, Opp. Abia State Polytechnic, Aba.

Time: 12 noon

If you want to set fire to your ideas and turn them into business solutions, you can register via this link: www.bit.ly/SWAba_register

October! 💡💡💡

Happy new month digital fam ❤️

Over the course of my career as a startup coach and Founder, I have had the privilege of supporting different founders and entrepreneurs and one thing that is often under-discussed is the fact that growth is a process.

Growth is a journey that comes many times with a lot of discomfort.

Whether you are building a business or growing your professional career, it takes a lot of courage, perseverance and hard-work!

It will require you to go through some challenging times, deal with difficult people and make very tough decisions to stay aligned with a vision and purpose sometimes only you know and can see.

Many times we don't know for sure that we'll be successful but we hope for the best and leverage on the tools, resources and network available per season.

Here's to everyone working hard to make their dreams come true and going through the process of growth!

Stay strong, keep growing!

Online marketing and advertising are critical elements for business success. It is what ensures that your business shows up in front of the people you desire to serve while also giving them an opportunity to take action on your value proposition.

Yesterday, I had an wonderful session with the entrepreneurs I coach under the Entrepreneurship Program. Today, I will be taking them through Effective Advertising Strategies for their business success.

Calling on Smart, Ambitious Women Across Nigeria & Ghana!

For the first time in a long while, we are (re) connecting young, smart, ambitious, purpose-driven, entrepreneurial and professional women at the Besties' Meetup powered by Bestie Network Africa happening from Friday, 30th July 2021 to Sunday, 1st August 2021.

This will be our first physical event since 2019 and we have put together a fantastic set of entrepreneurs and coaches who will be facilitating in 14 cities across Nigeria and Ghana.

The highlight of this event is the "Mid-Year Goal Setting/Planning Session" designed to help attendees review the last 6 months of the year, while also setting new goals and targets to be achieved within the remaining half of year. PS: This is a free event and all COVID-19 protocols will be followed.

Do you know why this meetup is a must-attend? This is because it will give you an opportunity to not only meet ambitious and purpose-driven women like you but provides a platform for shares experiences, strategies and advice to help you get ahead in business, career and life in general. I have tasted and I know, that when women support women, magic happens, and it is that magic we want to bring to you at the Besties' Meetup event this weekend. All of this is summed up in the African philosophy - Ubuntu, "I am because of who we are".

If you are in any of these cities, send me a DM so that I can share the WhatsApp group with you to connect with "Besties' in your city and get updates on dates, location and other details of the meetup.

Just a beautiful lawyer, digital skills educator and business coach doing what she loves to do best, building people and businesses across Africa.

I had the honour of speaking to participants at the Owning my Space, life skills programme for young unemployed graduates organized by boys to MEN Foundation

It's amazing the work has done and is still doing to develop boys and men into responsible, ethical gentlemen with integrity through it's programs and initiatives.

The goal is to leave no one behind, male or female. Let's keep pushing 👍
