Our mission

To enhance business management capabilities
amongst MSMEs increasing their chances of growth and reduce their risks of failure.

Determination

Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying 'I will try again tomorrow.

Collaborative

Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than the one where they sprang up.

Opportunities

When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

Entrepreneurship

Passion, creativity, and resilience are the most crucial skills in business. If you’ve got those, you’re ready to embark on the journey.

Here's a few of the testimonials we recieved from our attendees and partners from past events

I am proud of hardworking Nigerians and particularly those thriving to improve our society. I believe that building businesses will help us solve our nation’s enormous job challenges. I, therefore, feel very strongly about the importance of SMEs as they provide more than 90% of jobs in most economies. I am therefore proud of you for your tireless efforts to support SMEs.

It was a privilege for @safebellefoods to participate in the business pitch competition at the #ibadansmebootcamp organized by @ayobankolee and the @lagossmebootcamp team. We are honored to emerge as the first runner up and Safebelle Foods do not take this for granted to be recognized and supported in our small business.

I was live at #LagosSMEbootCamp where I learnt so much about business and how to scale. I also met with people of value. I never knew @AyoBankole was that funny and thanks for putting this together sir. Coming from Akure down to Lagos was worth it!
