​During AVCA Week in Lagos, join Itana, Accelerate Africa, and Stears for a private evening of connection, conversation, and collaboration.

​​Founders & Funders is a curated mixer designed to bring together VCs, private equity professionals, leading founders, and ecosystem enablers in a relaxed, off-stage setting. This informal gathering offers the perfect environment to spark meaningful connections and explore opportunities beyond the conference halls.

​​Whether you're investing in Africa’s future or building it, this is where the right conversations begin.
