We are documenting African innovation as it happens.Putting people building the future on camera and in the room.
We started in 2023 with one belief: that the honest, unpolished stories of founders deserve a stage as serious as the work itself. Every event, interview and film exists to turn that belief into three things founders actually need.

Founder & host
Peace Itimi
Storyteller, creator and TED speaker. She brings founders close enough for the human story to come through — the fear, the pivots and the wins the highlight reels usually leave out.
“I want people to see themselves in these founders — to know the person before the pitch.”
