Founders Chat

We were thrilled to welcome Richmond Bassey, the visionary founder of Bamboo, to our Excelerate class! Richmond shared an inspiring journey of how he founded Bamboo, a pioneering Nigerian company that has revolutionized access to global investment opportunities for everyday Nigerians. He talked about the early challenges he faced in bringing Bamboo from concept to reality, navigating the complexities of both local and international markets, and his dedication to educating users on smart investing.

Richmond emphasized the importance of perseverance, especially in a market that wasn’t initially open to his vision. He shared insights into the relentless pursuit of excellence, building a resilient team, and focusing on user trust as a cornerstone of Bamboo’s growth. Today, Bamboo stands as a profitable national brand, empowering thousands across Nigeria with tools for financial growth and wealth-building. His words encouraged the Excelerate cohort to embrace risk, commit to innovation, and build businesses that make lasting impacts in their communities and beyond.

The Excelerate class was deeply inspired by Richmond’s story. His success is a testament to what’s possible with faith, strategy, and an unwavering commitment to impact, resonating perfectly with our program’s vision of building enduring, purpose-driven businesses.

  • Identify Opportunities and Threats: Apply frameworks like PESTEL and Porter’s Five Forces to assess external influences and market forces impacting customers.
  • Develop Strategic Insights: Use the 9-Box framework to align customer analysis with strategic goals and make informed business recommendations.

Business Strategy

Welcome to Business Strategy I! This course introduces the fundamental components necessary to build a sustainable and profitable business. You'll explore essential strategies that enhance a company’s competitive advantage, improve profitability, and ensure scalability. Here’s what you can expect to learn:

Profits & Repeatability: Discover the importance of achieving consistent profits through repeatable transactions and explore key factors such as unit economics, profit margins, and cash cycles. Learn about the challenges of non-repeatable transactions, including high customer acquisition costs and low customer loyalty.

Market Size & Demand: Gain insights into evaluating market opportunities with concepts like Total Addressable Market (TAM), Serviceable Available Market (SAM), and Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM). You'll also learn strategies for expanding market reach to capture a larger share.

Moat & Defensibility: Understand how to build a "moat" around your business by creating unique value propositions and differentiating your products or services. We'll discuss the importance of product stickiness, switching costs, intellectual property, and strong customer relationships to protect against competitors.

Ease of Scale: Learn how to scale your business effectively, exploring both horizontal scaling (e.g., management and operational expansion) and vertical scaling (platform-based growth). We’ll examine how scalability influences business valuation and long-term growth potential.

Case Studies & Practical Application: You’ll engage in case studies designed to help you apply these concepts. One exercise involves developing a market-entry strategy for a new agriculture business in Nigeria, while another focuses on scaling a spa business to meet revenue targets.

By the end of this course, you’ll be equipped with the skills to craft a viable, competitive, and scalable business strategy, ready to take on real-world business challenges with confidence.
