Founders Connect, the platform behind Africa’s most-watched founder interview series, has announced the return of FC Live Show to Lagos on Saturday, July 18, 2026. The event will be held at Jewel Aeida, Lagos, from 12:00 PM, bringing together founders, operators, investors, and creatives for a curated live show built around honest, unscripted conversation.
Now in its fourth Lagos edition, FC Live Show 2026 marks a significant format shift. Previous editions featured conference-style programming alongside live interviews. This year, the interview is the entire event…no panels, no multiple stages, no filler. One stage, one host, and a series of deliberately structured live conversations with some of the most consequential builders working on the African continent today.
“The best moments from every FC event have always been the ones where someone stops performing and just tells the truth. This year, we built the whole show around that moment.” — Peace Itimi, Founder, Founders Connect
The show will be hosted by Peace Itimi, founder of Founders Connect and one of Africa’s most recognised interviewers of founders and operators. Itimi has conducted over 100 long-form interviews with African builders across the Founders Connect podcast and YouTube channel, which has amassed a significant following across the continent.
