𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲,

But the best ideas and partnerships don’t happen behind closed doors or through stiff, formal networking. They happen when founders relax, let their guard down, and connect genuinely.

This October, @founders_friday Kaduna is pairing high-value strategy sessions with an evening built for downtime, games, and genuine collaboration.

🎮 The Founders Game Lounge Features:
  • PS5 Gaming Setup – Face off in high-energy digital matchups.
  • Tabletop & Classic Games – Enjoy favorites like Whot, Uno, Ludo, Charades, and Startup Trivia.
  • Fun Challenges & High-Vibe Networking – Connect naturally without the corporate stiffness.

Alongside our tactical session on 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵, come 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲, 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼-𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿.

This week on the 𝗕𝘂𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘅 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆, we’re having a practical conversation on:

𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽?
Seeing Your Business Through an Investor’s Lens

Founders often get emotionally attached to what they are building and rightfully so, but this also means they don’t get to step back to assess the business the way an investor would.

In this session, we’ll be joined by these speakers as we unpack what investors look for, what makes a business investment-ready, and how founders can better position their startups for funding conversations.

📅 Friday, 2nd October 2026
⏰ 5PM
📍 Google Meet
🔗 https://luma.com/foundersfridaynig

Come ready to learn, reflect, and ask the hard questions.
