Built where research meets the market.

Silicon Lekki started with a simple observation: Nigerian universities produce world-class research that almost never becomes a company. The results are published, cited — and shelved. Not for lack of ambition, but for lack of structure: licensing frameworks, founding teams, early capital, and someone to walk the distance between a result and a product.

So we built the structure. A venture studio that sits beside researchers and entrepreneurs, negotiates the lab access and the IP, assembles the founding team, writes the first cheque — and stays in the room until the company stands on its own.
