How applications are selected

Your application goes to LAN's deal team for review. The network does not publish timelines for decisions. Based on the portfolio of backed companies, the deal team assesses founders across multiple sectors and stages, from idea through revenue-generating. Successful applicants gain access to the 120+ angel investors in the network, mentorship, governance support and introductions to VC firms.

What reviewers look for

  • A clear pitch deck matters more than polished branding—the form asks for it first
  • Traction evidence (users, revenue, partnerships, pilot results) appears to influence selection; the form asks you to describe it
  • The network backs companies across early stages, from pre-product idea through post-seed, so stage alone does not disqualify you
  • Sector fit is real: the portfolio shows depth in fintech, healthtech and agritech; B2B/commerce and edtech are also well-represented
  • Keeping your application confidential means you can apply without competitors knowing—use that to your advantage in the pitch deck

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to hear back after applying?

The network does not publish a decision timeline. Applications are reviewed by the deal team, but you should follow up directly with LAN if you have not heard back within a reasonable period.

Do I need to be registered as a business to apply?

The sources do not specify a registration requirement. However, you will need to provide company details, a location and your current business stage, so you should be able to describe your legal structure.

Can I apply if my company is not yet generating revenue?

Yes. The network backs companies at idea, pre-seed, seed and post-seed stages. Revenue generation is one option in the stage dropdown, not a requirement.

What happens if LAN invests in my company?

Beyond seed capital of ₦500K–₦50M, you gain mentorship, governance support and introductions to VC firms. The sources do not specify equity terms or investor rights, so you should discuss those directly with the network after selection.

Which sectors does the network support?

Technology, finance, healthcare, agriculture, media, proptech, edtech, insurtech, mobility and B2B/commerce. The application form lists these in the sector dropdown.
