Programme snapshot
Six months
One structured programme, end to end.
Full-time commitment
A demanding, execution-focused pace.
5 weeks of Mini MBA
Core business fundamentals, taught directly.
3 weeks of immersion
Inside real, operating Afrifounders businesses.
4-month paid internship
For participants selected on merit.
Full-time potential
Top performers may receive offers.
Who should apply
Built for graduates who want more than a certificate.
This is not a classroom exercise. Trainees learn business fundamentals, then apply them inside real Afrifounders companies — with real teams, real customers, and real consequences. Every stage is merit-based, and not everyone who starts continues to the next.
Honest by design
Training and immersion are unpaid. Only participants selected at the end of month two continue into the paid internship.
A recent Nigerian graduate
Currently serving NYSC, or recently completed
Eager to learn real business fundamentals
Comfortable with a demanding, execution-focused pace
Available full-time for the full six months
Ready to be evaluated on merit at every stage
