The Founders
Execution Roundtable
Your idea isn’t stuck. You are. Join serious Nigerian founders in one private room in Ikeja, solving real business bottlenecks together. Leave with clarity. Leave with momentum. Leave with execution.
You’ll leave with your pricing fixed, your offer validated, or your #1 bottleneck solved — not another notebook of ideas.

Sound familiar?
The idea was never the hard part.
You have the idea. You don't have the momentum.
It's been sitting in a notes app, a business plan doc, or just in your head — for months, maybe longer.
You're building alone.
No one around you is at the same stage, asking the same questions, or holding you to anything.
You know what to do. You just haven't done it.
Not from a lack of information — from a lack of a room, a deadline, and people watching.
What this actually is
Not a conference. Not a pitch night. A working session.
We gather in Ikeja for one focused session built around one thing: getting you unstuck on the exact thing you've been avoiding.
How the session works
Three steps. No fluff.
You bring the actual project
Not a pitch deck. The real thing you're stuck on — a business, a product, an idea you haven't started.
We work, in a room, together
Structured blocks of focused execution time, not another panel discussion or networking mixer.
You leave with progress, not notes
You won't leave with another notebook full of “key takeaways.” You'll walk out with your pricing fixed, your landing page headline rewritten, or your GTM campaign drafted — done right there in the room.

“We have enough dreamers in Nigeria. What we need now is a room of relentless executors.”
You've probably had a version of this thought: “I'll start once I've figured out X.” Freedom has heard that sentence from hundreds of founders — because for years, he said it to himself.
The difference is he stopped waiting to feel ready. He built Masterpiece Decor — an interior décor company that now generates 7-figure contracts and runs its own academy — before he had it figured out. TechnoVate, Afriplat, and Lumenvox Academythe same way. He's now Chief Marketing Officer at Hyphen Connect AI — not because he waited for permission, but because he kept moving while still figuring it out.
None of those started with a business plan sitting untouched in a notes app. Every one of them started the same way this roundtable is built to end: an idea, a bottleneck, and a decision to stop thinking and start moving.
If you're currently in the “still researching” version of that story, this is the room he wishes existed when he was the one stuck — and he's not doing it alone. He'll be hosting alongside Favour Jesutomisin Godswill, and joined by Emmanuel Ade — more on both below.
Meet Favour Jesutomisin Godswill
Try this right now: explain what you're building in one sentence, to someone who's never heard of it. If it came out tangled, or you found yourself adding “well, basically” three times — that's not a you problem. It's the single most common reason good ideas stall.
It's also exactly what Favour Jesutomisin Godswill spends her career fixing. As an Impact Storyteller and Development Journalist, she's spent over five years turning complicated, tangled stories into ones people actually act on — for brands like LEAF Africa and Africa Broadcasting Academy, and as Founder of the Women in SDGs Community and Green Jobs Advisory.
In the room, that's the lens she brings to your bottleneck: not “is the idea good,” but “can anyone else understand why it matters yet?”If they can't, that's usually the real thing keeping you stuck — not the idea itself.

Meet Emmanuel Ade
Co-founder at Vendoor Africa, Eata Prime Ltd., CashOS, Nexora Institute
Be honest — do you actually know your numbers, or do you have a rough idea and a plan to “figure out pricing properly later”? When the conversation turns to that — margins, whether the business survives past month six, what it actually costs to acquire a customer — Emmanuel is who's in the room for it.
He's a financial analyst and business growth expert who's helped multiple businesses navigate exactly that: financial modeling, securing funding, and turning a vague plan into numbers that hold up. He's a direct mentee of Bankole Olalekan, CEO of Extramile Africa and a close associate of Tony Elumelu — the kind of proximity to real capital and real scale that most financial advice floating around isn't coming from.
Three people, three different lenses on the exact thing you're stuck on — the story you can't explain simply, the model that has to actually make money, and the execution that ties it together. Now, the question is whether one of them is looking at your bottleneck.

Is this you?
This is for the founder who is done waiting.
You've now met the three people who'll be in that room with you. Here's who they're actually there for.
Currently building a business or product
At any stage — idea, MVP, live-but-stuck, or pivoting. You're in it, and it's not moving fast enough.
Sitting on an idea you haven't told anyone about
It's lived in your head or a notes app for so long it's started to feel like it isn't real.
Exhausted from explaining the vision
You've pitched it to friends, family, your mirror. What you haven't done is build it.
Done being your own only accountability
Not another networking event. Not another panel. A room that won't let you leave stuck.
Note: Because this is an active working session requiring table space, power outlets, and hands-on audits, room capacity in Ikeja is strictly dictated by the workspace layout. Seats are confirmed purely on a first-paid basis.
Imagine walking into the room
Who might be sitting beside you?
Because seats are limited and first-paid, every person at that table is someone who moved. That's who you'd be sitting among.
A software developer
A marketing strategist
A business developer
An AI strategist
A founder who's already solved the exact problem you're facing
Now imagine everyone in that room spends the day solving each other’s businesses. That’s the room.
What if one conversation changed your company forever?
So here's what you actually get in the room.
History is full of businesses that changed because of one introduction, one mentor, one uncomfortable question, one room. The founder of Moniepoint didn't build alone. Tony Elumelu didn't build alone. Dangote didn't build alone. Behind every great entrepreneur is a network that challenged their thinking long before the world noticed their success. We're not saying everyone who walks into this room will build the next billion-dollar company. We're saying the next great African company is far more likely to be built in rooms like this than in isolation.
By the time you leave the room, you should have at least one of these done
- Your pricing finally makes sense
- Your landing page headline rewritten
- Your first offer validated
- Your customer acquisition plan mapped out
- Your #1 bottleneck solved
