Coming Soon: Caladium SME Fellowship Programme Cohort 2
Cohort 2 of the Caladium SME Fellowship is coming soon. Stay tuned, big things are on the way.
Too many business owners are grinding hard with little to show for it. Working long hours. Wearing all the hats. Drowning in operations. Yet growth feels slow or stuck. That’s the problem we set out to solve when we launched the Caladium SME Fellowship last year.
This wasn’t just another programme. It was a practical, no-fluff, high-impact intervention for entrepreneurs ready to move from hustle to structure. From confusion to clarity. From survival to sustainable growth.
We saw over 2,000 applications. After a rigorous selection process, 70 entrepreneurs from Nigeria and across Africa made it into the programme. The top 40 went through intensive business training and close mentorship delivered by experienced founders, respected faculty, and seasoned CEOs.
Since then, the results have been clear. Stronger models, better systems, tighter operations, and more confident founders who now make sharper decisions and run more stable companies.
This year, Cohort 2 is coming. And it’s going to be even bigger.
The Caladium SME Fellowship (Cohort 2) will open for applications soon. We’ve listened. We’ve learned. Now we’re expanding the programme to reach more entrepreneurs, with:
Tiers of scholarships to improve access, especially for promising entrepreneurs who are building in tough markets or overlooked sectors
More faculty and mentors, including some of Africa’s sharpest business minds
A refined curriculum focused on real business levers like customer acquisition, pricing, finance, hiring, and leadership
The full programme fee is N500,000, but we’ll be offering 50% scholarships to early applicants who demonstrate high growth potential.
This isn’t for everyone. It’s not for people chasing vibes or waiting for handouts.
It’s for founders who are ready to stop winging it and start building intentionally.
So if you’re building something real, something that needs better structure, strategy, and guidance, get ready.
Applications open soon. Seats are limited. Be the first to know.
