Ecobank Nigeria has launched Scaling Up!!!, a business storytelling podcast designed to equip African entrepreneurs and business leaders with practical insights from successful innovators across the continent. The platform marks a strategic effort by the bank to support small and medium-sized enterprises beyond traditional financial products, offering a space where founders can learn directly from peer experiences. Rather than focusing solely on access to capital, the initiative highlights the practical strategies, operational adjustments, and resilience required to build sustainable enterprises in competitive African markets.
The podcast features unscripted conversations that examine both the opportunities and the real-world obstacles of running a business. By exploring strategic decision-making and past setbacks, the series aims to help emerging business owners make informed choices and avoid common operational traps. Prominent figures featured in the inaugural season include filmmaker Kunle Afolayan, music producer ID Cabasa, beauty entrepreneur Adeola Adeyemi, fashion designer Ejiro Amos Tafiri, photographer Emmanuel Oyeleke, interior designer Adewunmi Adegbola, and creative entrepreneur Richard Vedelago.
