Following the success of its inaugural season, Channels Media Group is thrilled to announce the return of its original business reality series, ‘Fund It Forward’ (FIF). The show’s second season, aptly titled ‘Fund It Forward – Series B’, promises to deliver another round of dynamic, young social entrepreneurs ready to transform their communities and industries.
This season, 12 carefully selected young entrepreneurs from across Nigeria will converge on the prestigious Post Square Towers in Victoria Island, Lagos. Over nine intense weeks, these ambitious founders will face real-world challenges designed to test and hone their business skills, resilience, and commitment to their social impact missions.
“Channels Television is excited to once again support a group of determined young entrepreneurs who are passionate about making a difference”, said the executive producer of the show, Zemmy Momoh. “The progress of our Season 1 finalists has been inspiring, and we are eager to equip more young Nigerians with the resources they need to shape the future of their country”.
‘Fund It Forward’ has quickly established itself as a beacon of hope for young entrepreneurs in Africa,
showcasing enterprise as a powerful force for social change. The upcoming season is set to be even more engaging, competitive, and entertaining, according to the series showrunner and Managing Director of FIF co-production ompany, Lighthouse Television and Filmworks, Neil Oyenekan.
The inaugural season saw the founder of Bach and Moen Limited (producers of nutritious, lowcost local foods), Valentine Okoli, emerge victorious, earning the grand prize of a N30 million grant. The founder of TrashFormas (a waste recycling and clean energy company), Thara Aisha Atta, secured second place with a ₦15 million grant, while the founder of Agrify (a regenerative agriculture initiative), Delz Erinle, took third place with a N10 million. The remaining participants were not left empty-handed, receiving valuable mentorship and coaching from the show’s strategic partners, CcHub and Leap Africa.
As ‘Fund It Forward’ returns, viewers can once again look forward to being both inspired and entertained by the journey of these innovative entrepreneurs as they transform themselves, their businesses, and their societies.
