WHO WE ARE

UNDER 40 CEOs

We are a game-changing platform designed to empower and inspire the next generation of business leaders across Africa. Our journey began with a simple yet profound conversation between two young CEOs in the heart of Lagos. Amidst the challenges and triumphs of their own ventures, they discovered that sharing their experiences could provide priceless insights for aspiring entrepreneurs facing similar hurdles.

From this crucial moment, Under 40 CEOs was born with a vision to create a space where young business minds could find guidance, support, and inspiration. Our mission is clear: to demystify the path to success and foster a thriving community of youth-owned and youth-founded businesses in Africa.

In simple words, we believe in the power of young entrepreneurs to drive change and create a prosperous future. Whether you're just starting or looking to scale, we have the right resources to support your journey.

Through our television series, mentorship programs with experienced industry leaders, workshops, exclusive events, and networking opportunities, we offer real stories, actionable insights, and a plethora of support to help you attain greatness.
