Back the next generation of builders
Becoming a Founder puts your organisation next to the stories of people who built businesses that lasted — in front of the founders, operators and students who are about to build the next ones.
Ways to work together
Support the show
Help us record, edit and publish more conversations. We’ll find a fit that feels natural to listeners, not like an advert break.
Support our CITS26 stand
Our live podcast set at the Cameroon International Tech Summit, 15–17 October 2026 in Yaoundé, is where the show launches in public.
Something else
A special series, a community event, a programme for young founders — if it helps people learn from experienced builders, let’s talk.
Straight answers
Where the show is right now
We’d rather tell you exactly where we stand than quote numbers we can’t back up.
- The show launches publicly at CITS26, 15–17 October 2026, from a 24 m² stand with a live recording set at the Palais des Congrès in Yaoundé.
- First episodes are being recorded now and publish from the summit onwards.
- Audience figures don’t exist yet, because the show hasn’t launched. Early partners come in on the strength of the idea, the stand and the guests — not on a chart we invented. We’ll publish real numbers once there are real numbers.
- Who you reach: founders and operators building on the continent, the students and career switchers behind them, and the institutions that fund and support them.
The shape of it
What a partnership can include
- Series support — your organisation credited across a run of episodes, on the episode pages and in the show notes.
- The CITS26 stand — presence on the live set where the show launches, in front of summit visitors for three days.
- A themed run — several episodes around one question that matters to you and to founders: financing, hiring, exporting, staying solvent.
- Community work — recordings tied to a programme, a campus or an accelerator you already run.
What a partnership never includes: choosing the guests, seeing questions in advance, or editing what a founder said. That independence is the reason the show is worth being next to.

Questions
What partners ask
Can we choose which founders you interview?
No. Guests are chosen for what their story teaches. It’s the same reason your brand next to it means something.
Do you publish audience numbers?
Not yet — the show launches at CITS26. Once episodes are out we report what we actually measure: listens, views, page visits and signups.
What does it cost?
It depends on what you want to support, and we price it honestly against what the show can deliver today. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll come back with something specific.
Can we host or sponsor one episode only?
Yes. A single episode, a themed run, or just the stand at CITS26 — all workable.
Are you open to partners outside Cameroon?
Yes. The guests are African founders; the audience and the partners don’t have to be in one country.
