Omo, I still get goosebumps when I think about what we're planning.
If you followed what we did with LaunchPad 2025, you know we don't play. But what's coming in 2026? E go shock you.
Save This Date: August 28th, 2026
We're bringing together 20 of the most innovative secondary school students from across Lagos State — not just one or two schools, but young minds from every corner of this city. From Epe to Ikeja, from Badagry to Ikorodu. The brightest, most daring young thinkers Lagos has to offer.
And we're not coming to play small.
₦10,000,000 in Grants and Gifts
You read that right. Ten million naira.
We're talking business grants, startup equipment, mentorship packages, tech resources — everything a young founder needs to turn an idea from "what if" to "watch me."
Last year, we gave ₦100,000 each to two brilliant young women and watched them start building their dreams. This year? We're scaling up because Nigeria's young people deserve more than crumbs. They deserve real investment.
But We Can't Do This Alone
Here's where you come in.
Whether you're a corporate organization looking for meaningful CSR impact, a government agency committed to youth development, an NGO focused on education, or an individual who believes in Nigeria's next generation — we need you.
To Corporate Nigeria
Your logo on a billboard is nice. But your logo on a young entrepreneur's first business card? That's legacy. That's impact you can actually see grow.
When you sponsor LaunchPad, you're not just writing a cheque. You're becoming part of a story. You're the reason a 15-year-old finally gets the chance to prove that their "crazy idea" wasn't crazy at all.
To Government Partners
We saw what happened when Ikosi-Isheri LCDA believed in us. The Chairman, Princess Samiat Bada, didn't just give us a venue — she gave us legitimacy. She showed other leaders what's possible when government backs youth innovation.
We're looking for more partners like that. Local governments, state ministries, education boards — if you're serious about youth empowerment, let's talk. We'll bring the students, the structure, and the passion. You bring the support and watch transformation happen.
To Everyone Who Believes
Maybe you can't sponsor millions. That's okay. Share this post. Tell a teacher. Nominate a student you know who has that fire in their eyes. Help us spread the word that opportunity is coming.
Because here's what I've learned: Nigerian young people don't lack ideas. They don't lack talent. They don't lack ambition.
They lack opportunity. And that's exactly what LaunchPad exists to provide.
