Doors open in
Your network is your net worth, and most rooms you walk into aren’t worth the cost of your time. This one is different.
For one evening in Glasgow, the founders, CEOs and decision-makers who are actually building something will be in the same room, led by a man who turned a thrift-collection side hustle into a portfolio spanning Nigeria, the UAE, the UK and the USA. If you’ve ever felt the next level of your business is being decided in rooms you’re not yet in, this is your invitation in.
The problem
Talent isn’t your bottleneck. Access is.
You’ve built something real. You’re past the stage of “just trying to survive.” But somewhere along the way, the climb got quieter, and lonelier.
- You’re the smartest person in most of your rooms, and that’s exactly the problem.
- The capital, partnerships and deals you need exist, but they move through relationships you don’t yet have.
- You’ve outgrown generic “networking events” full of people selling, not building.
- Glasgow is full of ambition, but the right rooms are closed, quiet, and hard to find from the outside.
Growth at your level isn’t about working harder. It’s about standing next to the right people.
The promise
One evening. The right room. A different trajectory.
The Glasgow CEOs & Founders Meet & Greet is an exclusive networking experience built for one purpose: to put serious founders and CEOs in direct contact with each other, and with Dr. Stephen Akintayo, one of Africa’s most influential investment minds.
This isn’t a webinar. It’s not a sales pitch dressed up as a seminar. It’s a curated, high-trust gathering where the conversations are real, the people are vetted, and the connections are built to last well beyond the night.
Secure my placeWho it’s for
This room was designed for you if…
You belong here
- You’re a CEO, founder or business owner who’s already in motion and ready to scale.
- You’re building in Glasgow, Scotland or the wider UK, or you’re part of the diaspora business community here.
- You want access to capital, partnerships, and international markets (Africa, the UAE, the US).
- You believe your next breakthrough comes from a relationship you haven’t made yet.
- You’d rather spend one focused evening with the right 50 people than another year guessing.
It’s not for you if
- You’re looking for a free “how to start a business” class.
- You want to work the room selling instead of building genuine relationships.
- You’re not ready to act on the opportunities in front of you.

About the host
Meet the man in the room.
Dr. Stephen Akintayo is the Chairman of SACI Holdings, a global private equity firm with interests in real estate, technology and emerging markets across Africa, the UAE, the UK and the USA. He is the Founder and President of the Stephen Akintayo Foundation, and the founder of Gtext Holdings, a multinational conglomerate he built from the ground up.
He’s a member of the Forbes Business Council, the author of 45+ books on wealth and entrepreneurship, and host of The Billionaire Habits Podcast.
But the part that matters most: he started with nothing.
From a thrift collector on campus to a recharge-card stand in Abuja, his story is proof that the gap between where you are and where you want to be is closed by the right knowledge, and the right rooms. His mission is bold and specific: to raise one million millionaires by 2050. On 24th July, a few of them could be sitting in Glasgow.
Why now
Opportunity is global. Most people are still building locally.
The founders who win this decade are the ones who think across borders, connecting UK capital and credibility with the explosive growth of African and Gulf markets. Dr. Akintayo’s ecosystem already operates in all of them.
This Glasgow evening is your on-ramp. The date is fixed. The room is small. And once 24th July passes, the next chance to be in a room like this, in your city, may be a long way off.
