Who it's for

Built for people doing real work.

SME owners

If you've been told "grants are not for businesses", the curriculum will show you otherwise, and help you weigh grants against equity and debt.

Nonprofits and social enterprises

If you keep applying without results, Module 5 shows you how reviewers score, and where the points are being lost.

First-time applicants

If you don't know where to begin, the eleven modules give you the order of steps.

Founders anywhere

In the diaspora or elsewhere in Africa? It's online, and you can pay in Naira or dollars.

Who it's not for: if you want someone to write your proposal for you, or a promise of money by next month. The curriculum works when you do the work.

FAQ

Curriculum questions.

Do I need to watch every lesson before the live sessions?

Lessons unlock on 7 November 2026. Work through them in order, because each module builds on the one before it and ends with a practical task.

How is the Intensive different from Quickstart?

Quickstart is pre-recorded videos plus one live class. The Intensive adds live weekend sessions, hot-seat work on your own business, guided due diligence folder building, and work on business blockers. Quickstart is included.

Can I pay for the Intensive in instalments?

Yes. Once your seat is confirmed you can pay in full (₦537,500), in 2 instalments of ₦268,750, or in 3 instalments of ₦182,750, ₦177,375 and ₦177,375. All payments must be completed by 6 November 2026, before classes start.

Can I pay by bank transfer?

Yes. Pay by Paystack, card in dollars, or bank transfer, then upload your proof of payment so we can confirm your place. The details are on the Intensive and Quickstart pages.

I run a business, not a nonprofit. Is this for me?

Yes. The curriculum covers grants, equity, debt and blended capital, so SME owners, nonprofits and social enterprises all find the capital that fits their stage.

I am outside Nigeria. Can I join?

Yes. Everything is online, and you can pay in dollars.

Will you write my proposal or deck for me?

No. We work on them with you, and you leave knowing how to do it yourself.

Will I get funded?

No one honest can promise that. Funders make the final decision. What the curriculum gives you is a clear story, a sharp deck and your documents ready.
