HubPharm Africa Takes N15 Million Top Prize at The Pitchathon
HubPharm Africa’s Sesan Kareem, the pharmacist who turned a family tragedy into a platform that has delivered over 300,000 specialty medicines across Nigerian states was named the grand final’s overall winner at The Gathering On 100 Pitchathon on April 25, 2026.
The grand final drew together thirteen founders, ten selected from Friday’s Sesan on and three from Thursday’s, among them Charles Dairo of Kindlybook, whose booking automation platform for beauty and wellness businesses had returned to the stage with the quiet confidence of a company that already knows it belongs.
MTN Nigeria, the event’s primary sponsor, had placed a substantial institutional bet on the proposition that Nigeria’s youth, its Gen Z founders and Millennial creatives and self-taught engineers, were not a problem to be managed but a resource to be invested in.
