How we started

The Lagos SME Bootcamp is a non-profit Initiative founded in 2018 by Ayo Bankole Akintujoye and Oluwaseun Durojaiye. This initiative was birthed by the need to resuscitate the short-lived nature of many MSMEs in Nigeria in a bid to contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 8 (Promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment, and decent work for all).

The Nigerian business environment is one laden with sudden changes, overregulation & for the most part, and a dearth of technical know-how. This was what the SME Bootcamp Initiative sought to fix by equipping SMEs with networking opportunities, educating them about little-known global practices, giving them access to instant soft funding & enlightening them on how to stay afloat in an ever-competitive marketplace.
