If you’re building a startup in Africa’s tech scene, you know how tough it can be to get the right people to notice. You’ve got the product, the passion, and the hustle, but what if you could skip the cold emails and pitch decks and step straight into a room where top investors are waiting to meet you?
That’s exactly what the Lagos Startup Expo 2.0 is offering every founder this June, early-stage or not! And this year, the stakes are higher, the opportunities richer, and the access more direct than ever before.
The investor lounge: where conversations become capital
As an exhibiting founder, you’re not just another face in the crowd. You get access to a dedicated Investor Lounge – a curated space designed for real conversations with some of Africa’s most active VC firms and investors. This isn’t a rushed hallway chat or a chance encounter at a coffee stand. It’s a focused, high-energy environment where investors are genuinely looking to discover the next wave of African innovation.
Among the investors you’re certain to meet are Ventures Platform, Oui Capital, Norrsken22, and TVC Labs; we’re also expecting to welcome Future Africa, EchoVC, GreenHouse Capital, Microtraction, TLcom Capital, Ingressive Capital, LoftyInc Capital, CRE Venture Capital, Beta.Ventures, Atlantica Ventures, Novastar Capital, Timon Capital, Adaverse and Lagos Angel Network among others. These are the names behind some of the most exciting deals on the continent, and they’re waiting to meet founders like you at the Lagos Startup Expo 2.0 investor lounge.
Why exhibit if you’re an early-stage startup (0-2 years)?
We have an early-stage startup package for Lagos Startup Expo 2.0 and it is built for startups who want more than just a booth.
You get:
- A 2m x 3m exhibition booth to showcase your product and engage your target market.
- Your logo and link featured on the LSE website, boosting your digital footprint.
- A social media announcement tagging your handle, putting you in front of a wider audience.
- Inclusion in our email marketing campaign, so your story reaches inboxes across the ecosystem.
- An exhibitor highlight on Techpoint Africa, giving you press coverage that counts.
- A 1-minute demo video featured on our Live Demo Wall, so your innovation gets seen by all.
- Most importantly, access to the investor lounge for speed dating with investors and VCs.
This isn’t just about being seen, it’s about being discovered by the right people, getting real-time feedback, and building relationships that can unlock funding, partnerships, and growth.
