Caladium SME Fellowship

In 2018, we launched the Lagos SME Bootcamp, to give small business owners a fighting chance in the unfavourable Nigerian Business environment. Over the past 7 years, this bootcamp touched the lives of over 10,000 SMEs across Nigeria, creating ripples of impact in communities and industries alike.

But something was missing. We realized we needed to go beyond one-off events and create an ecosystem of continuous growth and deeper engagement. In July 2024, the Caladium SME Fellowship was born. Think of it as a “mini MBA”—but one rooted in the realities of doing business in Nigeria.

What Our Fellows Said

Here are a few of the testimonials we recieved from our fellows from the Caladium SME Fellowship Programme.

Our biggest success story for 2024 began with graduating from the 1st edition of the Caladium Fellowship Program, which helped us identify overlooked areas in our business operations.

I finally took that step, joined communities that helped my brand grow— most notably the Caladium Fellows Program, which transformed my journey after years of being a silent member.

CEO, Perfect Hands Signature

One of our recent achievements was successfully onboarding HQ Healthy Treat on the Glovo platform, a milestone that has significantly expanded our reach and visibility. This idea was first shared during the CLSME Fellowship, where we gained valuable insights and strategies that helped us bring this vision to life.
