I moved to Nigeria, built two funded companies, and raised money as a Nigerian-American founder. I figured it all out the hard way — how to live there, structure a business across two countries, and get investors to say yes. Now it's written down.

Sound familiar?
You want to live or operate in Nigeria but you're getting vague answers from everyone. How power actually works. What things really cost. How to find housing without getting played. Nobody's giving you real numbers.
You're trying to structure a company across Nigeria and the US without overpaying lawyers or making mistakes you can't undo. One wrong entity decision early and you're rebuilding from scratch later.
You're raising money as a Nigerian or Nigerian-American founder navigating a VC system that wasn't built for you. You've got a real company. You just need to know how to position the story and who to get in front of.
The content that exists is either surface-level or priced for people who've never set foot in Lagos. Founder life between Nigeria and America is actually wild — and nobody's writing the real version down.
Is this for you?
You're building between Nigeria and America and feel like you're figuring it out alone — because you basically are.
You've spent hours Googling how to open a US bank account from Lagos, register in both countries, or understand what Nigerian venture capital actually looks like.
You want to raise your first check — or get into a program like Techstars or Gener8tor — but don't know how to walk into those rooms as a Nigerian or Nigerian-American founder.
You're about to move to Nigeria or already there, and nobody's given you the operational reality — power setup, real costs, how to actually function as a founder on the ground.
You're smart enough to know what you don't know. You just need someone who's been there — and is willing to write it all down without the fluff.
What's inside
Power setup (inverters, solar, generators — I've done this twice). Banking, housing, cost of living, logistics, connectivity, safety. The on-the-ground stuff nobody posts about — written from lived experience with real numbers.
How to legally run a dual-country operation (Nigeria + US). Entity types, banking, CAC registration, US bank accounts from Lagos, contracts, IP protection, and what to set up first so you don't undo it all later.
How to raise as a Nigerian or Nigerian-American founder. Where to find the right investors, how to position your story, what Techstars and Gener8tor actually look for, and how to navigate a process that was not built for you — from someone who got in to both.

Written by
Nigerian-American founder from Chicago. I didn't move to Nigeria on a whim — I moved because I saw the numbers before most people saw the shift. By 2050, skin of color will represent the majority of the US population. Nigeria will outpopulate the US for the first time in history. I had already generated $60K in 60 days in America. The move was strategy, not chaos.
I built two funded companies from the ground up — byosaz.com (Techstars backed) and osaz.ai (Gener8tor backed). I got a Nigerian corporate bank loan. I installed solar panels twice. I figured out how to structure a business across two countries, open US accounts from Lagos, and walk into Techstars and Gener8tor rooms as a Nigerian-American founder and get in. Nobody told me any of it. I wrote it down so you don't have to learn it the hard way.
What people are saying
"I fumbled a mil, and you were able to take $300K and build what you're building. It's not by how much money you have — it's by grace of building, maintenance, sustainability and scaling. You know something I don't know, and for that I honor the grace on your life."

"I'm already recommending you to people because you post about your losses and roadblocks — that relates so much to me. You're in Africa, a market I want to move into. Almost all my business-minded friends are Nigerians. I want to move to Nigeria one day."
