What Our Clients Say
Stridevest believed in my vision when all I had was a prototype and passion. The ₦5,000 application process was easy, and the mentorship I received after the investment helped me restructure my business completely. Today, we’ve grown from a small kitchen operation to a beauty brand with distributors in three states. I owe much of that progress to Stridevest.
Adaora Eze
Getting funding was great, but the real game-changer was the hands-on support from the Stridevest team. They didn’t just invest and disappear—they stayed involved, guiding me through challenges I didn’t even know to expect. I now understand business better, manage my team effectively, and I'm scaling faster than I imagined.
David Udo
What sets Stridevest apart is their intentionality. The team is passionate, thorough, and truly invested in seeing businesses succeed. It’s not just another funding scheme—it’s a movement that’s transforming lives and rebuilding local economies.
