SPONSORSHIP
We are building something that Africa needs.
We are creating access to real career experience for young Africans who have the talent but not the opportunity. We are doing it through structured cohorts, honest conversations, and mentor-guided real work.

Pan-AfricanWHY WE’RE SEEKING SPONSORS
We are not waiting
for permission
to build this.
Simpletin exists because talented young Africans are being held back not by ability, but by access. Access to real experience. Access to mentors. Access to the kind of structured, proof-generating work that employers actually respect.
We are building that access. The model is proven in early cohorts. The podcast is live and growing. The students who have been through the programme are working, earning, and proving what’s possible.
Now we need sponsors to help us scale it to reach more students, fund more cohorts, produce more conversations, and build the ecosystem we know is possible. Sponsorship is not charity. It is belief in what Africa’s next generation can do when they are given the structure to do it.
Before Everyone Else
The organisations that show up early are the ones students remember. When this ecosystem reaches the scale we are building toward, the names on the founding cohorts will mean something. That window is open right now.
Your Name on a Real Story
Every student you sponsor carries your name through their journey, on their proof-of-work certificate, in their cohort name, in the story they tell employers. You are not a logo. You are part of what they built.
Inside Conversations That Matter
The Simpletin Podcast puts you inside honest conversations that Africa's young professionals actually follow. Not an ad break, a genuine, host-read mention from people who mean what they say.
Full Transparency, Always
We do not take overhead from sponsorship funds. Every naira goes to the work, the student, the episode, the event. You will always receive an honest report showing exactly what your support moved.
WHAT WE’RE BUILDING IN 2026
A roadmap worth
backing.
We are not a finished product. We are an ecosystem in motion, with a clear direction, honest milestones, and the kind of early traction that tells you the foundations are right.
Phase 1
Our First Cohorts
We are running our first Career Accelerator cohorts — small, structured groups of students working on real business briefs under mentor guidance. We are testing, learning, and building proof that this model works.
Milestone
First cohort graduated. Students building portfolios. Pilot feedback shaping the programme.
Phase 2
Scaling the Pathways
We are expanding into more career tracks marketing, product, data, operations. Each pathway is structured, mentor-led, and tied to real employer briefs. We are creating access, not just content./p>
Milestone
Goal: 3 career pathways running simultaneously across two cities.
Phase 3
The Podcast as a Movement
Two seasons live. Season 3 in planning. The Simpletin Podcast is becoming the honest voice for Africa's young professionals — conversations that don't sugarcoat what building a career here actually looks like.
Milestone
Goal: 10,000 consistent listeners. A community, not just an audience.
Phase 4 · Beyond
A Pan-African Ecosystem
We are not stopping at Nigeria. The model we are proving here real work, mentor support, verified proof is designed to travel. Accra. Nairobi. Kampala. Every city where talented young people are stuck waiting for access.
Milestone
Simpletin across 3 countries. Sponsors named at the founding of each new city.

Something specific
in mind?
The packages above are starting points. Our most meaningful sponsorships don't always fit a standard tier, they are built around a specific goal, a named student, a city, or a moment that matters.
Tell us what you are thinking. We will design something around it, a named scholarship, a city-specific pathway, a full podcast season with your editorial involvement, or a multi-year commitment that grows alongside us. Anything is possible when the intention is right.

WHY IT WORKS
The model is simple.
Access changes everything.
Students who complete the programme consistently find employment faster than peers without structured proof-of-work experience.
Every student earns a verified proof-of-work portfolio — not a certificate of attendance, but evidence of real deliverables.
Employers who have seen Simpletin student work have returned to hire from subsequent cohorts.
Sponsored students complete the programme at a higher rate — the financial commitment creates accountability and follow-through.
Zero admin overhead on sponsorship funds. Every naira is tracked and reported to the sponsor upon programme completion.
