Founders assume selection is about the idea. It is mostly about what sits behind the story: traction, numbers, team and what the next stage actually requires. @TomiDee on how we choose

Global rooms are only useful if what you learn in them comes home. @TomiDee with Candace Johnson, former EBAN President and other angels at the World Business Angels Investment Forum.

100+ startups supported. 1,000 is the goal. What we have learned so far: capital is rarely the binding constraint. Structure, documentation and investor access are.

Founders hear “no” and assume the business failed the test. Often the business passed and the mandate did not match.

If you were raising capital tomorrow, what would you need to hear today? @TomiDee answers that and names what he thinks Africa’s biggest challenge actually is

Before angel investing in Africa had conferences and newsletters, it had rooms like this one. Our Collaborator-in-Chief @TomiDee with global angels, early.

Hardest number for founders to get right? We see all four go wrong. Curious which one you think is worst

Run this on your business today: Proposition. Organisation. Economics. Milestones. You do not need perfect scores. You need to know which one is weakest before an investor tells you.

Today we celebrate every Nigerian building. Founders, teams, investors and everyone choosing to keep moving forward. Happy Independence Day 🇳🇬 #NigeriaAt66

Do you remember the first time you heard about TVCLabs? A friend, a founder, a pitch night, a random tweet? Tell us how you found us and what happened after.

Throwback to @Cc_HUB, Yaba, back when "Yabacon Valley" wasn't a phrase anyone used yet. @TomiDee, Segun Ojuri and some of the coolest people who built the cluster before it had a name.

Almost two decades working with African founders and angels. Long enough to know we're getting some things wrong. What's the one thing TVCLabs should be doing differently? We're reading everything.

Who can actually be an angel investor? Probably more people than you think. @TomiDee breaks it down

10 seasons of MentorPitch. The pitch was never the point. The point was the right founder meeting the right angel at the right time. Ten seasons of that. Still building.

Lagos, we are excited for this one! 🚀 Looking forward to bringing investors into the room, strengthening connections and creating the conversations that move Africa’s investment ecosystem forward. See you in the room.
