CFA’s Startups Hangout is a monthly meetup where entrepreneurs meet, network, learn and grow.
Yes, we recognise all the awesome events happening in the ecosystem but this is carefully crafted with the young and upcoming in mind.
It is simply a no-holds barred forum where established entrepreneurs are invited to come around to share their path to success.
I know a lot of startups and small business owners are feeling the pain of recession and this I know because quite a number of them come to me for advice or support.
Honestly, these are indeed trying times to be an entrepreneur but, history has proven that in the face of great difficulties, focused and exceptional people can go on to create life transforming solutions.
If you are a startup reading this post, it is important to note that this is certainly not the time to give up, rather this is the time to turbo on as long as you are not trying to flog a dead horse. Here’s a quote from Mark Zuckerberg that serves as a life-long admonition; “Building a mission and building a business go hand-in-hand.”
One reason we came up with the idea of the monthly hangout, is to ensure that we provide an additional platform for young entrepreneurs to succeed and also create an opportunity for more established entrepreneurs looking to add value to lives of young people.
The February edition of CFA’s Startups Hangout features Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, Founder, Sam Ohuabunwa Foundation & Rev. Sunday Folayan, President, Nigeria Internet Registration Association (NiRA). These are two great Nigerians with more than 30 years of experience as entrepreneurs. Our team cannot wait for that day because it sure promises to be explosive.
The first edition of CFA’s Startups Hangout featured Ade Atobatele, Founder, Gboza Gbosa Technology Limited and Ehi Braimah, MD, Neo Media & Marketing Limited and it recorded more than 50 startups who registered online.
