HoaQ September AMA

​Join us on Thursday, September 24th, 2026 for our seventh AMA of the year.

​"More Than a Logo: How African Founders Build Brands People Love" brings together three people who work on it from different sides of the table.

​Victor Fatanmi, Co-founder and Director of Strategy at FourthCanvas, the brand consultancy behind identities for companies across the continent.

​Obasola Akintola, Senior Brand Designer at Chowdeck, where brand gets built at the speed of a company shipping every week.

​Alessandra Cabra, Co-founder and Strategist at Orange by Marmalade, a cultural branding studio whose work includes Paystack and The Stack Group.

​We'll cover what a brand actually costs, when it stops being optional, who owns it inside a company, and how a founder tells the difference between a design problem and a positioning problem.

​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 navigating your next hire, an investor pressure-testing a portfolio company, or an operator thinking about what sustainable growth actually requires, this one is relevant to you. . . . . . . Registering for our AMAs means you will be added to the HoaQ bi-weekly email list, where we share free resources, job opportunities and guides for founders and builders of Africa's startup ecosystem.
