Lagos Angel Fellowship 2026: Applications Close Today for New Investor Cohort

Lagos Angel Fellowship close today, 7 September 2026, offering seasoned entrepreneurs, executives and professionals a six-week programme designed to turn them into active early-stage investors.

The network aims to build a stronger local layer of capital so Nigerian startups can secure their first cheques from domestic backers rather than waiting solely for foreign venture funds.

Participants receive practical training in startup evaluation, due diligence, valuation, deal terms and portfolio support.

Organisers emphasise that the goal is to create informed angels who can support founders at the earliest stages, when capital is scarcest.

Interested candidates must submit applications through the official Lagos Angel Network portal before the end-of-day deadline.

Successful fellows join a growing community of local investors already backing technology, creative and agribusiness ventures.

The initiative arrives as global funding remains selective and Nigerian founders seek more home-grown options.

Those who complete the programme are expected to deploy capital and mentorship in the months ahead, giving the fellowship a direct role in strengthening the pool of Nigerian investors available to early-stage founders.
