    MentorPitch11: 8-Week Angel Activation Sprint for Post-Revenue Founders

    If you are generating revenue and preparing to raise ₦25M–₦400M in angel capital, MentorPitch11 is designed to help you move from operating founder to an investment-grade startup.

    This is not an accelerator.

    It is a structured, due-diligence-led sprint anchored in the POEM Framework® and executed through a verified Digital Data Room.

    Who this is for

    MentorPitch11 is designed for startups that:

    • Have 6–24 months of revenue
    • Have paying customers and an MVP in market
    • Are legally registered in Nigeria
    • Have raised Founder, Family & Friends capital
    • Are preparing for an angel round within the next 6–12 months
    • Are willing to subject their business to structured, evidence-based scrutiny

    DG Collective verification is a prerequisite for participation.

    What Happens in 8 Weeks

    Over eight weeks, Angel-Mentors conduct structured collaborative due diligence across the five POEM pillars:

    • Vision – Is the problem venture-scale?
    • Proposition – Is product–market fit defensible?
    • Organisation – Is the team and IP structure sound?
    • Economics – Are unit economics scalable?
    • Milestones – Is the forward roadmap credible?

    By Week 6, Angel-Mentors issue a non-binding Conditional Commitment signal.

    By Week 7, founders must achieve:

    • ≥85% DDR completion
    • All Mandatory Core artefacts validated

    Week 8 culminates in AngelPitch, where lead intent may be signalled to co-investors.

    Capital Pathway

    MentorPitch11 does not guarantee investment.

    It provides:

    • Structured angel due diligence
    • Clear investment signalling
    • Soft-circle confirmation
    • Defined capital activation timeline (Weeks 6–12)

    Serious founders use this to accelerate disciplined capital formation.
