Founders Connect Live In Lagos 2026

For the fourth edition in our home city, we are doing something we’ve never done before – a live podcast show, built around the conversations that made Founders Connect what it is.

Over the past three years, Founders Connect has hosted sold-out events in Lagos, London, Nairobi, Cape Town, Toronto, and beyond — building one of Africa’s most engaged communities of founders, operators, and professionals. More than 100 long-form interviews published. Over 72,000 YouTube subscribers. And a room that always punches above its size.

What to expect on the day:

🎙️ Live long-form interviews with some of Nigeria’s most compelling founders, operators, creatives, and business leaders

❓ Ask Me Anything (AMA) 

🎤 Honest conversations about building, leadership, ambition, failure, growth, and the realities behind success

📸 Immersive experience zones and photo moments designed for conversation and connection

🎁 Exclusive Founders Connect merchandise and partner experiences

🥂 Welcome drinks, refreshments, and opportunities to connect before, during, and after the show

💡 Practical insights, lessons, and stories you can take back to your work, business, or career

🎬 A live-show atmosphere designed to feel more like being part of a great conversation than sitting through a conference

✨ And a room full of people who are building, creating, leading, and figuring things out, just like you.

 

This is an intimate, curated experience where the audience is as much a part of the show as the stage. Expect founders, investors, operators, creatives, and professionals who are building at the highest level and showing up because they want to be in the room.
