Canadian Black Chamber of Commerce’s Post

Over 80% of Nigerians have ideas but could not bring them to life. 😯 Specifically, over 70% of tech entrepreneurs cannot bring their ideas to life. 🤔 Read this: Almost every day, I meet young Nigerians who tell me of one business idea they have, but don't have the resources and funds to bring the idea to life. In fact, currently, there is a young lady who is asking for funds to start a business. As for me, I'm still trying to manage myself. But on a serious note, This is one issue a lot of potential entrepreneurs are facing: ☑️Lack of funds ☑️No community ☑️No mentorship ☑️Lack of access to investors You have an idea, but because of a lack of funding, you can't bring it to light. People might consider you lazy or someone who doesn't have a vision. What they don't know is that deep down, you have a business idea, but access to financial assistance or funds is what you lack. Getting people to believe in your idea and buy into your concept can be very challenging. It can be very painful. 🤦🏾♂️ Nobellum considered this and decided to host the Black Innovation in STEM Summit. Our aim is to gather black tech entrepreneurs from around the world and equip them in order for them to get the ground running for the success of their business. Events like this can: 🔰bring you closer to foreign investors, 🔰give you room to pitch your ideas to potential partners 🔰provide funding opportunities, 🔰offer mentorship, 🔰bring you closer to a community of other tech entrepreneurs. All these will help you achieve your dream of starting your tech business. It is next month, June 15th. If you can go to Canada, good. But if you are in Africa like me, you can register virtually and still receive the same access to the numerous opportunities. ✌🏽️ Additionally, there will be a raffle draw for virtual participants to win a 12-month LinkedIn Premium subscription, and I know you know what it's going to do for your brand. Isn't that beautiful? 🤗 The Afro-Fashion Showdown during the BIS Summit is delivered in partnership with Black Men’s Style X Nobellum increase the presence of African Fashion & culture in the business world. You can attend the BIS Summit with your finest African-inspired attire showcase your Afro-Elegance and stand a chance to win a prize as the best Afro-dressed male/female in the room (both in Canada & Virtually). 🤓✌🏾 Don't sleep on this opportunity.
