The show’s aim is to drive change in Nigeria by developing our contestants’ own businesses while educating viewers on how to successfully set-up a changemaking enterprise themselves.

The top 3 winners will receive monetary grant prizes, exceptional business training opportunities and mentorship, and all 12 contestants will have access to an extensive network of experts and changemakers.
