Nigeria’s tech scene is buzzing — but when it comes to real conversations about innovation, the surface-level hype often drowns out the substance.
That’s why Beyond the Pitch is launching its Debut Edition on 29 November 2025 in Lagos. This quarterly series goes beyond startup jargon to host intimate, insight-rich fireside conversations with some of Africa’s leading founders, investors, and policymakers.
Here’s a deep dive into the four powerful sessions that will define the day — and why you should make sure you’re in the room (or watching online).
🔸 Beyond Fintech – What’s Left to Solve?
With fintech adoption at scale, the Nigerian ecosystem faces a new question: What next? Industry heavyweights Ngozi Dozie (Carbon), Tosin Eniolorunda (Moniepoint), and Odun Eweniyi (Piggyvest) will unpack the opportunities still untapped — from infrastructure fintech to regulatory innovation.
This session is essential for fintech founders, investors, and anyone looking to understand the future of digital finance in Africa.
🔸 Legal Tech – The Sleeping Giant
Nigeria’s legal system remains largely analogue — but that’s exactly why legal tech represents a massive opportunity. Led by Funke Adekoya SAN, Tokunboh Akinbiyi, and Osarumen Osamuyi, this conversation will explore how contract automation, online dispute resolution, and legal innovation can unlock new markets.
🔸 Edtech Beyond Templates – Differentiation or Death
In edtech, copy-paste models no longer cut it. Visionaries Sim Shagaya, Honey Ogundeyi, and Kola Aina will discuss what it takes to build truly differentiated, scalable solutions for Nigeria’s fragmented education system. This is a must-attend for edtech founders, educators, and impact investors.
🔸 Climate & Green Tech – Adaptation Before Adoption
Before mass adoption, Africa must adapt innovation to fit local infrastructure realities. Climate leaders Damilola Ogunbiyi, Habiba Ali, and Dr. Wiebe Boer will share hard-earned insights on building climate solutions that thrive in challenging contexts.
✨ MVP in the Room: Real Feedback in Real Time
After each conversation, an early-stage startup takes the stage for candid expert and audience feedback. No pitch theatre. No fluff. Just honest input designed to help founders level up.
