UnwindFest Set To Host Founders Rant X In Lagos
Founders Rant X, the flagship experience of UnwindFest powered by YellowLyfe, is set to hold its latest edition on May 13, 2026, in Lagos.
The event, scheduled to take place at Alliance Française Lagos, will bring together more than 150 founders, CEOs, and business leaders to discuss the realities of building and sustaining businesses in Nigeria.
This year’s edition will feature a diverse lineup of speakers across industries, including Paul Onwuanibe, founder and CEO of Landmark Africa, who will deliver the keynote address. Other speakers include Katharina Link of Pulse Africa, alongside Kehinde Ogundare, Damilola Teida, Fola Olatunji David, and Kelechi Nwaozuzu.
Organisers say the event will focus on practical challenges founders face daily, including hiring, pricing, team management, growth, and navigating uncertainty. It is also expected to create opportunities for early-stage founders, growth-stage operators, and ecosystem stakeholders to engage in open dialogue and peer learning.
Since its inception, Founders Rant has evolved into a prominent storytelling platform for entrepreneurs, offering candid discussions that reflect the realities of operating in Nigeria’s dynamic business environment.
Convener Seyi Olaniyan said the initiative was created to provide founders with honest insights often missing from conventional business conversations, adding that this edition aims to deepen those engagements and equip participants with practical knowledge.
The latest edition marks a milestone for UnwindFest as it continues to expand its role in fostering meaningful conversations within Nigeria’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. The event is supported by partners including Cleva Banking and Tech Pression.
Tickets for the event are available online, with organisers encouraging interested participants to follow UnwindFest’s social media channels for updates.
