@mycityappng joins ISF Forum 2026 as our Lifestyle Partner. A few thousand people are about to arrive in Ibadan for two days, and a good number of them will be here for the first time. Which means a few thousand versions of the same questions: where’s good to eat, what’s worth seeing, where do I go after the sessions end. MyCityApp answers that — the city in your pocket, from people who actually know it. And there’s a point buried in that. The forum is two days inside a building. Ibadan is the rest of it. The conversation that carries on over dinner, the detour someone takes on the Saturday, the reason a delegate goes home telling people about the city rather than just the conference. Glad to have them with us. Scale Without Borders 27–28 November · International Conference Centre, Ibadan Tickets: theisfforum.com #ISF2026 #ScaleWithoutBorders #MyCityApp #Ibadan

$1.5 million pre-seed to fix car insurance in a country where almost nobody has it and the people who do can’t claim on it. ETAP rebuilt the whole thing around the phone — buy cover in minutes, get rewarded for driving well, claim without a fight. Changing an industry that old is harder than building a new one.

Everyone celebrates the unicorn that opened in Nairobi. Almost nobody celebrates the 40-person company that did the same thing with none of the capital. SME Crosser of the Year is for them. Under 250 staff, and still got across a border. The nominees: · Redbird Health Tech · Terraskills @terraskillsng · TradeDepot @tradedepot.co This might be the most relatable category on the list.

The first category is the one the whole forum is named after. Scale-Up of the Year goes to a company that did the hard thing — grew past its home market and stayed there. Not announced an expansion. Survived one. The nominees: · Flutterwave @theflutterwave · M-KOPA @mkopa.ng · Onafriq (MFS Africa) @onafriq_app Winner announced at the Scale Without Borders Award Gala, 28 November, Ibadan.

It means the State is convening this with us — not watching from the side. A continental forum, held in Ibadan, backed by the government of the state hosting it. The motto on that crest reads The Pacesetter. It has been there a long time. This is the kind of thing that keeps it true: three thousand founders, investors and operators from across the continent coming to Oyo State to talk about what it actually takes to build something here that crosses a border. We’re grateful for the partnership, and we don’t take it lightly.

@sales_unbox joins ISF Forum 2026 as a Sponsor. Most Nigerian SMEs are running their entire business across four or five disconnected things — a notebook for inventory, WhatsApp for orders, a bank app for payments, and somebody’s memory for who owes what. It works until it doesn’t, and the point where it stops working is usually the point where the business was about to grow. SalesUnbox pulls that into one place: commerce, CRM, inventory, built for SMEs on this continent rather than adapted from somewhere else. Which matters more than it sounds for a forum about scaling. You cannot cross a border on a business you can’t see clearly from the inside. Glad to have them with us in Ibadan. Scale Without Borders

Growth is a finance problem long before it’s a market problem. The expansion that kills a company is almost never the one that failed commercially — it’s the one the balance sheet couldn’t carry. Peace Ikeoluwa Oladunjoye - @stealthwealthnetwork is Group CFO at EAG, and joins us at ISF Forum 2026 for the numbers side of scaling. Scale Without Borders

$1.5 million in debt funding, including a ₦1 billion raise — for a company that started in a living room. Sycamore built peer-to-peer lending in a market where most people borrow from friends anyway, and turned that into infrastructure. It’s a hard thing to build and a harder thing to keep solvent.

Most founders meet a bank only when they need something and are told no. Dr. Felicia Tamuno works in institutional banking at The Alternative Bank — on the other side of that conversation, where the decisions about who gets backed actually get made.

A Lagos fintech hits serious monthly volume and opens in Accra. Six months later they’ve shut it. What killed it? Pick one. But don’t just drop a letter — tell us why, because the reasoning is the interesting part and the letter isn’t. This happens more than anyone publishes. Companies announce the expansion loudly and close it quietly, and the lesson never leaves the building. We’re revealing the answer tomorrow, with a speaker’s take on it. Correct answers get 50% off a ticket. Scale Without Borders
