The BGDC Session is designed to help participating founders conduct revenue audits, identify business growth barriers and develop practical 90-day action plans. The programme will also feature the live award of ₦10 million grants to five businesses, alongside access to a business growth workbook and connections to international investors through partners in California and Paris. Jideonwo’s participation will bring a practical, experience-led perspective to the gathering, connecting the inner clarity required to build with the strategic discipline needed to grow.
