Inside Ogun State's Biggest Founders Meetup: This Month It's All About Revenue

A lot of founders can build a product. Fewer can build a business that generates revenue reliably. That gap is what Founders Friday Abeokuta is putting at the center of its June edition, themed "Understanding Revenue Models."

The event, hosted in partnership with Jekacode Hub, brings together entrepreneurs, business owners, innovators, and ecosystem leaders for an evening of conversations, pitches, and community. It is one of the more consistent gathering points for founders in Ogun State, and this edition arrives with a lineup that matches the seriousness of the theme.

Speakers and panelists include Edunjobi Hazeez Owolabi, a Geospatial Data Scientist, Applied Geophysicist and PhD-holder, and Azeez Ibrahim, Product Operations Analyst at Sprint Africa. Joining them on the panel are Adefisoye Adeshola Joseph, Founder and President of N.E.Y.I Techpreneurship Hub, and Solarin Ayomide, AI Engineer, Software Developer and Founder of Jekacode Africa. Between them, the room brings together deep technical expertise, hands-on startup experience, and direct ecosystem-building work.

The programme is built around the idea that having a good product is only part of the equation. What trips most early-stage founders is figuring out how that product makes money consistently: how to price it right, how to communicate its value, and how to build growth systems that hold up beyond the initial excitement of launching.

A Founder Pitch Session is also on the agenda, with five selected businesses presenting their models to the room for direct community feedback. The format is designed to give founders clarity and challenge assumptions in a room that's invested in seeing them succeed rather than just evaluate them.

The June edition also includes a Business Owners Appreciation Program, distributing N140,000 in cash support among seven business owners, alongside discount vouchers from community service providers and free 30-minute advisory sessions with experienced experts. It is a practical gesture toward the reality that many founders are building through real financial pressure, not just ideation challenges.

For anyone building in Ogun State's tech and startup ecosystem, this is the kind of room worth being in. The combination of structured learning, live pitching, and direct peer community makes Founders Friday one of the more grounded ecosystem events on the calendar.

The June edition holds on Friday, June 26th at 4:00 PM at Jekacode Hub, Casa Bella, No. 40 Abiola Way, Abeokuta. Registration is open.
