Cascador, a Nigeria-focused platform for growth-stage entrepreneurs, has selected 10 Nigerian companies for its 2026 ScaleUp Program, a 12-week accelerator focused on helping businesses sharpen their strategy and prepare for their next stage of growth.
The selected companies operate across sectors, including proptech, clean energy, agriculture, healthcare, beauty and wellness, tourism, minerals and food production, and were chosen from more than 1,000 applicants, according to the company.
This marks Cascador’s latest effort to build a pipeline of Nigerian businesses ready to scale but still require capital and leadership support. It comes two weeks after Cascador partnered with Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Youth Development (FMYD) through the Nigerian Youth Academy (NiYA) to launch a program to help youth entrepreneurs build stronger businesses.
“The next chapter of Nigeria’s entrepreneurial story will be about what happens when proven businesses get the support they need to scale,” said David DeLucia, Co-Founder of Cascador. “That is the opportunity this cohort brings, where visionaries, innovators and impact-driven leaders can grow their businesses sustainably with lasting economic value.”
