About this event

How do you create one-in-a-million founders — entrepreneurs who scale globally, build resilient companies, and create massive impact?

Join us for an exclusive virtual session as we uncover lessons from Silicon Valley on building world-class founders and the vision behind the Founder Dojo Program, launching soon in Imo State.

Our speakers, Chris Burry (Co-founder, US Market Access Center & Global Innovation Dojo) and Ken Singer Head of the Sutardja Entrepreneurship center, UC Berkeley), bring decades of experience working with thousands of founders worldwide — helping them develop the mindset, skills, and networks to succeed.


This session will explore:

  • What makes a world-class founder in today’s global economy
  • The Silicon Valley playbook: insights from unicorns and successful exits
  • Why programs like the Founder Dojo matter for emerging ecosystems like Owerri
  • How you can plug into this movement and grow with the network

This is not just another talk. It’s a blueprint for shaping the next generation of founders in Africa and beyond.
