Nationwide ransom payment has validated the kidnapping business model. Criminals are working overtime on the signal.

This Fulani man was recently released alongside his Chinese boss by the terrorists. He explained how some Fulani from Chad are travelling to Nigeria to kidnap Nigerians for ransom.

It’s really incredible the absolute AI GARBAGE that people are comfortable sending to their coworkers and bosses

There’s a good chance productivity will actually *decrease* as AI adoption increases because everyone is busy wading through AI slop

Cascador Pitch Day 2026 is a wrap. And what a day it was. 🎉

None of this would have been possible without the people and organizations who believed in this mission and showed up fully.

To our incredible sponsors and partners, Sterling Bank, Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority, Development Bank of Nigeria, Future Africa, Verod Capital, Lagos Business School, and the US Consulate General. Thank you for putting your weight behind Nigerian entrepreneurship.
Today showed exactly why that investment matters.

And to every single person who was in that room today, in person or online. Thank you. You brought the energy, the belief, and the community that made Cascador Pitch Day 2026 what it was.

Seven founders left with their lives changed. And you were part of that story.

Until next year. 💙

He can have 64 Kids cos he was Emir but the peasant in Kano who has 10 kids is a self-sabotaging idiot because he is poor.

We are accepting a two-tier social system if we normalise polygamy and `large family for the rich and powerful but condemn it for the downtrodden.

Meet Deborah Gael, Co-founder of Koolboks, and she’s on the #CascadorPitchDay stage today.

Koolboks is solving one of sub-Saharan Africa’s most overlooked infrastructure gaps: refrigeration. With solar-powered cooling systems built for off-grid communities, a pay-as-you-go payment model, and 15,000 units already deployed across 25 countries, Koolboks isn’t just a hardware company, it’s a cold chain financial platform.

$5M in revenue. 25 countries. And a $25M projection by 2030.

Watch this space. 👀

Meet Femi Oyewole, founder of Fortics Life Group, and he’s on the #CascadorPitchDay stage today.

Between 2019 and 2024, almost 16,000 doctors left Nigeria, fleeing poor pay, crumbling infrastructure, and conditions that make care unsafe. Femi built Fortics against that backdrop.

Fortics Life Group is transforming healthcare access and outcomes in Nigeria, delivering comprehensive, tech-backed solutions through data, insurance, and robust financial systems. Not one piece of the puzzle. All of it, together.

What started in Ibadan with ₦5 million has grown into a healthcare network with over half a billion naira in revenue and more than 28,000 patients served across hospitals and pharmacies in Ibadan and Lagos.

This is what fixing a broken system from the inside looks like.

Watch the moment Deina Mayaki of Agriarche received ₦2.5 billion in catalytic funding at Cascador Pitch Day 2026. The largest award of the day. 🏆

Agriculture employs over 60% of Africa's population and has been chronically underfunded for far too long. Deina has been building the structure, transparency, and scale that Nigeria's agricultural markets desperately need. Today Cascador didn't just recognise that work. They made the biggest statement of the entire day.

This is what it looks like when the room believes in you completely.

Congratulations Deina. 🎉 @agriarche

Innovation recognized. 🏆

Yinka Iyinolakan of Indigenius AI takes home the NSIA Innovation Prize at Cascador Pitch Day 2026. $10,000 awarded by the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority for a vision that is redefining what AI can do for African communities.

This is what happens when you build something that truly matters.

Congratulations Yinka. The future is speaking your language. 💙 @Indigenius_

Meet Okey Esse, founder of Powerstove Energy, and he’s on the #CascadorPitchDay stage today.

600 million African households still cook with charcoal, firewood, and kerosene every day. The smoke is deadly. The cost is rising. And the problem has been ignored for too long. Okey decided to do something about it.

Powerstove is a smokeless biomass stove that generates its own electricity, cooks food five times faster, and lets users monitor and control cooking from a mobile app. It runs on a pay-as-you-cook model, with IoT-enabled tracking that can allow users to generate earnings from carbon credits.

Today, Powerstove is the largest clean cookstove provider in Nigeria — with over 100,000 products sold, positively impacting 500,000 households across 30 states.

IT’S OFFICIAL. 🚨

Stears just secured $450,000 in catalytic funding from Cascador.

If you want to invest in Africa, build in Africa, or govern Africa, you need reliable data. Preston Ideh and the Stears team have been building that infrastructure since 2017. Today Cascador backed them to take it further across the continent.

Congratulations Preston 🎉 @StearsData

IT’S OFFICIAL. 🚨

First Electric just secured ₦500,000,000 in catalytic funding from Cascador.

Nigeria’s energy crisis has gone on long enough. Daniel Komolafe and the First Electric team have been building solar plants, mini-grids, and clean energy infrastructure for the communities that need it most. Today they got the capital to scale.

Congratulations Daniel 🎉 @firstelectricco

Gooood.

[Defense News Nigeria @DefenseNigeria]

ISWAP/Boko Haram forces, with their motorized watercraft and speedboats, have long been accustomed to roaming the waterways of Lake Chad islands unchallenged. That era of uncontested movement across the lake is coming to an end, as the Nigerian Navy moves to deploy SBS units and patrol vessels with support surveillance and intelligence assets. Riverine patrols and clearance operations are set to take the fight directly into insurgent strongholds hidden among the remote islands of Lake Chad.

This is what it looks like when the man who built it shows up fully.

Dave DeLucia, Founder and Chairman of Cascador, in his element at Pitch Day 2026. On stage, in the room, in the conversations. Present in every sense of the word.

He did not just build a program. He built a community. And today, that community is on full display. ✨
