As the world celebrates International Women’s month, the Stanford Seed Network Nigeria is bringing its 2026 event series to a powerful close with a live pitch event designed to spotlight and support women entrepreneurs.
After weeks of intentional learning through expert-led webinars focused on execution, discipline, and collaboration, the journey now leads to its most defining moment; the Grand Finale Pitch Event!
Taking place on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at Greenpeg Engineering, Opebi, Lagos, the event will feature selected finalists presenting their businesses live for a chance to win ₦1,000,000 in funding.
Where Preparation Meets Opportunity

Over the course of the series, participants have engaged in sessions led by experienced entrepreneurs, gaining practical insights into how to move from ideas to execution, build disciplined systems, and explore collaborative growth strategies.
Now, the finalists will step forward to present businesses shaped by these lessons, demonstrating not just ideas, but clarity, structure, and readiness for growth.
A Celebration of Women Building Real Businesses

Beyond the competition, the Grand Finale is a gathering of founders, business leaders, and ecosystem players, all coming together to celebrate women who are building, innovating, and creating value across industries.
Winners will be announced and awarded on the spot, marking a significant milestone not just for the finalists, but for the broader community supporting women-led enterprises.
