Right fit

This masterclass is built for three types of people.

Founders

You're building for Africa, not just in Africa.

You have a product or service and you're ready to go to market — but you want to move fast without wasting 6 months on the wrong channel or the wrong city.

Pre-launch or post-product-market fit

Entering Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, or francophone markets

Tired of advice that doesn't account for African realities

Operators

You're running GTM and need a sharper framework.

You're inside a startup or a corporate expanding into Africa. You need a systematic way to evaluate markets, sequence entry, and build distribution that actually converts.

Head of growth, GTM lead, market entry manager

Working with a team of 2–50 people

Need frameworks you can present to leadership

Investors

You're deploying capital and need to read African markets faster.

You're evaluating deals or sourcing in Africa. You want to understand what separates a credible GTM from a slide deck that falls apart at the channel level.

VC analysts, angel investors, family office operators

Looking at pan-African or multi-market deals

Want to pressure-test founder GTM assumptions

What you walk away with

Four things you'll have by end of session.

A validated market entry decision

You'll know whether to enter your target market now, wait 90 days, or pivot to an adjacent market. Not a gut feeling — a 5-layer validation framework applied to your specific situation.

Your channel stack — mapped and ranked

WhatsApp, agent networks, community-led, partnerships, paid digital — you'll know which combination fits your product, your market, and your current stage. With the data to back it.

A pricing strategy that converts across income tiers

Africa has 4+ distinct income tiers in a single city. You'll have a pricing approach that captures revenue at each layer without cannibilising your premium positioning.

A 90-day GTM sprint plan — yours to keep

Week-by-week. First hire, first partnerships, first revenue milestone. The GTM Scorecard PDF (125-point diagnostic) and sprint template are yours immediately after payment.

Curriculum

What we cover in 90 minutes.

Module 01

The African Market Entry Framework

The 5-layer system for validating any African market in under 30 days. Which signals to read, which to ignore, and how to avoid the mistakes that consume 6 months of runway without producing a customer.

Module 02

Distribution Channels That Actually Work

The channel map for Nigerian, Kenyan, and Ghanaian markets. Why WhatsApp outperforms Google Ads in African B2B. Why community-led growth beats paid acquisition by 3x — and when it doesn't.

Module 03

Pricing for African Market Realities

How to set prices that convert across income tiers. The currency volatility playbook — pricing in USD vs local currency. Why freemium collapses in most African B2B contexts — and the three models that work instead.

Module 04

The 90-Day GTM Sprint Plan

Week-by-week execution: who to hire first, which partnerships to close in month one, what metrics to track, and the specific inflection point that tells you to double down or pivot. No vague KPIs.

Module 05

Trust Architecture in African Markets

Trust is the primary conversion driver in Africa — not price, not features. How to build it fast in a new market. The local credibility signals that investors and customers both look for before they commit.

Live Q&A

Your Market. Your Product. Your Question.

30 minutes, 30 attendees. Every question gets a direct answer — not a generic response. Bring your specific market, your specific challenge. This is the part most people say changes how they think.

FAQ

Common questions.

Will I get a recording if I can't attend live?

Yes. Every registered attendee gets the full recording within 24 hours — regardless of whether they attended live. The recording is yours permanently. You're not losing anything by registering now and watching later.

Why only 30 seats?

Because the Q&A is the most valuable part. With 30 people, every question gets a real answer — not a 30-second generic response to move on to the next hand. We keep it small deliberately. Once the 30 seats are gone, registration closes.

What timezone is the event in?

10:00 AM West Africa Time (WAT) · 9:00 AM GMT · 5:00 AM EST · 6:00 AM PST. If the live time doesn't work for you, the recording will be delivered the same day. Most people who register can't make the live session — the recording is equally valuable.

Is this for early-stage or growth-stage founders?

Both. Pre-launch: the framework gives you a validated market entry plan before you waste 6 months on the wrong channels. Post-launch: it helps you identify the specific gaps in your current GTM and what to fix first. The Q&A is where the stage-specific advice happens.

I'm not based in Africa — is this still relevant?

Yes. Diaspora founders building remotely and international operators planning market entry are both strong fits. The framework is about how African markets actually work — not about physical presence. Many of the sharpest Africa GTM operators are running from Lagos, London, New York, and Dubai simultaneously.

Can I get a refund?

Full refund up to 24 hours before the event. Email hello@durodola.africa with your order reference. After the event — no refund, but the recording and materials are yours to keep.
