October AMA Session

​Join us on Thursday, October 29th, 2026 for our eighth AMA of the year.

​"Reading Between the Numbers: How Investors Assess the True Health of a Startup" brings together people who see it from opposite sides of the table.

​Tokunboh Ishmael, Co-founder and Managing Director of Alitheia Capital, the private equity firm behind Alitheia IDF, a $100 million fund backing women-led businesses across Africa.

​Eke Urum, Founder and CEO of Risevest, the investment platform he has grown to more than 850,000 users, raising capital and acquiring two companies along the way.

​We'll cover what investors open first in a data room, which metrics they discount, how a company is assessed after the cheque is written, and how a founder tells the difference between a business that is growing and one that is healthy.

​If you've joined our AMAs before, you know these conversations are grounded, direct, and worth your time. If this is your first, it's a strong entry point into how serious operators think about building in Africa.

​Whether you're a founder preparing for your next raise, an investor pressure-testing a portfolio company, or an operator responsible for the numbers that go to the board, this one is relevant to you.
