​About the event

​Antler’s Africa Fund Partner, Anil Atmaramani, will be in London and hosting an intimate AMA + founder mixer for builders who want to launch from Lagos and scale across Africa.
If you’re a founder, operator, or domain expert in London exploring a Nigeria/Africa play—or you’re already building and want a fast path into the Antler Lagos community—this session is for you.

​We’ll cover what Antler Lagos looks for in founders and teams, how our residency works (co-founder matching, company building, mentoring), our funding process and timelines, and practical tips for validating and launching in the Lagos market. Come with questions; leave with clarity and new builder connections.
