Hi hi!
Ifeoluwa Ogunbufunmi
here!
This year, I've spoken at leading tech & investment conference across Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Austria, the United States, and Nigeria. I've had key
strategic conversations with investors — from angel investors to VCs and corporate VCs — all of whom are actively seeking their next big bet.
One clear theme emerged from our 1:1 conversations: there’s a growing appetite for early-stage investments, particularly in pre-seed and seed-stage startups that are building for real market segments, leading innovation for broken systems, and capturing the core spend of their target audience.
My active investor network continues to come to me, seeking out this exact type of startups and it's time to fill this gap!
Introducing: The SWIF Startup-Ready Pipeline (for High-Potential Startups)
This pipeline is designed to identify, refine, and spotlight early-stage startups building for depth, scale, and real market segments. This initiative will serve two key goals:
- Connect vetted, high-potential startups with committed investors looking for clear, investable opportunities.
- Support founders through strategic advisory — helping them sharpen their value proposition, strengthen their go-to-market plan, and increase investor readiness.

If you’re a founder building something powerful — or know someone who is — now’s the time to raise your hand.
The form below is your first step to express interest and be considered for this pipeline. We’ll review submissions on a rolling basis and reach out to shortlisted startups for next steps 👇
