JAMIL AKHTAR

I am former founder of fintech startup, Quikkloan, a portfolio of Startupbootcamp Accelerator based out of London. I have setup Knight Ventures Accelerator and Investment Platform in Nigeria. Additionally, I have been through VC Lab Accelerator to launch VC fund which has enabled me to learn nuances of emerging fund manager to launch Pre-seed /seed stage venture capital fund. I have evaluated over 40-50 startups in Nigeria.

My Capabilities

• Mentorship to portfolio companies about Market entry strategies specifically setting up marketing & sales team, product development and strategic partnership and hiring talent
• Mentoring activities includes serving as Mentor/Entrepreneur in Residence
• Judging start-up competitions at an Accelerator
• Deal sourcing, evaluation of investment opportunities, due diligence & support deal closure documentation for potential investment opportunities

I believe the my relevant experience and skill sets will add value to the organisation.

Looking forward to speaking.
