I have spent years in boardrooms. I’ve spent decades pitching, applying, meeting, mixing, and mingling. I’ve chased grants, sat through endless “due diligence” meetings, and navigated the labyrinth of African venture capital. After all that time, I realized something: the greatest deficit for the African entrepreneur isn’t just money—it’s the access to the right information at the right time.
So, I decided to stop waiting for someone to open the vault. I built my own.
I started a bank called FUNDD*. It isn’t a bank where you deposit cash to earn 2% interest. It is a BANK of information and resources designed for the African entrepreneur who is tired of hitting brick walls. It’s part of my broader Venture Capital Platform, The Capital, and you can find it right now at thecapital.space.
The philosophy is simple: I solve my own problems. Every resource in this bank was created because I needed it for my own projects. I figured if a stand-up comedian, celebrity chef, and entrepreneur like me was struggling to find these tools, then thousands of others were too.
Here are the 10 types of items you can “withdraw” from FUNDD*:
1. SERVE & HOMEMAKERS
These are my foundational modules. SERVE is a mentorship program for young people and entrepreneurs focusing on service excellence, while HOMEMAKERS provides the structural “how-to” for running world-class spaces and businesses.
2. GARNISH
In the world of hospitality and branding, the “finish” is everything. GARNISH provides the aesthetic and creative tools to make your product stand out in a crowded market.
3. The Strategy Library (Books & Articles)
I’ve uploaded my collection of books and motivational deep-dives. You’ll find titles like “Start from Scratch,” alongside pragmatic articles like “Why Supermarkets Make Money and We Don’t.” ### 4. The Diplomatic Vault (Embassy Lists & Ambassador Profiles) Scaling often requires international partnerships. We provide curated Embassy Lists and Ambassador Profiles so you know exactly who to talk to and how to align your projects with global interests.
5. Financial Intelligence (Banking & NGO Cycles)
Stop guessing when the money is available. I’ve mapped out Banking Programmes and NGO Funding Cycles so you can time your pitches and applications for maximum success.
6. The Entrepreneur’s Toolkit
This is the “nuts and bolts” section. You can withdraw Business Plans, branding resources, marketing strategies, and various tools that I use to build my own brands.
7. African Market Intelligence
I am obsessed with the continent. We provide Articles on African Markets and Profiles on Entrepreneurs who are actually getting it done, giving you the context needed to scale across borders.
8. The AI Pitch-Deck Automator
In 2026, speed is a currency. I’ve included templates and AI-driven prompts that I use to turn a raw idea into a professional pitch deck in minutes. If you want to get funded, you have to look the part instantly.
9. Rural Development Floor Plans and Development Manual
Based on my work with Rural BnB Africa, these are the actual floor plans, sustainable energy models, and community engagement scripts I use. It’s a “business-in-a-box” for anyone looking to develop rural tourism.
10. The Creative IP Protector
African creativity is often “stolen” because we don’t protect it. I’ve added resources on how to register trademarks, copyrights, and intellectual property across the AfCFTA (African Continental Free Trade Area) regions.
I’m not interested in being a traditional banker. I’m interested in being a resource catalyst. The door to The Capital is open. Stop knocking on doors that are locked from the inside and start withdrawing the knowledge you need to build your own empire.
