FATE Foundation is Nigeria’s foremost business development organisation committed to enabling aspiring and emerging Nigerian entrepreneurs to start, grow, and scale their businesses.

For 25 years, FATE Foundation has provided entrepreneurs with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to succeed in their entrepreneurial journey through various initiatives, including entrepreneurship training programmes, business incubation and acceleration, mentorship and coaching, access to finance and markets, research and policy advocacy, and scholarship programmes. FATE Foundation was established to harness the strong entrepreneurial culture of Nigerians by providing aspiring entrepreneurs with business incubation, growth, and accelerator support required to fully explore their innovative potential, to start, grow, and scale their businesses.
