Applications close tonight — private Founder Fireside for growth-stage founders (Sept 3)
Summary: Muhammad Bada is hosting a virtual Founder Fireside Series aimed at 30 growth-stage founders across Africa. The event, themed "Built, Not Pitched," features Amne Suedi from Shikana Group discussing challenges in bridging the gap between a business's true potential and its perceived value in pitches. It's a closed, invitation-only conversation focused on the real factors affecting deal closures despite initial agreement. Applications for the September 3rd event close tonight.
If you're building something real but keep wondering why the room says yes and the deal still dies, this might be worth your time.
I'm hosting the first edition of the Founder Fireside Series, a closed, invitation-only virtual conversation for 30 growth-stage founders across Africa. Theme: "Built, Not Pitched."
Our guest is Amne Suedi, Founder & Managing Director of Shikana Group, she's facilitated over $100M in foreign investment into East African markets and contributed to Tanzania's national investment policy.
No webinar. No panel. No long presentations. Just a real conversation about the gap between the business you've actually built and the version the room sees after the pitch,
and what quietly kills a deal even after everyone already said yes.
September 3rd. Virtual. Only 30 seats, by application.
Applications close tonight: alameenspark.com/fireside
If you're a growth-stage founder generating real revenue or showing strong traction, this is worth 5 minutes of your time to apply.
