What Do Investors Want?

Building a startup is challenging, and recent events in Nigeria's tech ecosystem highlight the many complexities founders navigate. In this environment, effective and strategic collaboration between founders and investors can provide more than just capital.

However, many founders find themselves uncertain about investor expectations. This knowledge gap can hinder effective collaboration and potentially jeopardize a startup's growth trajectory.

To answer this, we spoke with VCs and Subject Matter Experts such as Dayo Koleowo, Yewande Odumosu and Mide Alonge to understand what they truly want and expect from founders.

From product-market fit to transparency and communication, we uncover the essential elements that drive successful partnerships between these parties. Whether you're a founder or an investor, this analysis offers valuable insights to foster stronger, more transparent relationships in the ecosystem.
