Connecting global capital with Africa's most bankable content

Two decades building the capital and distribution infrastructure that African content needs to reach global markets. From financing Nollywood features to placing African writers in international production rooms.

The capital-and-structure layer that African creative talent chronically lacks — an operator who can finance, package, place, and distribute IP in global markets, built on a unique combination of formal financial training and deep Lagos industry access.

The Operating Thesis
Origin

From fund accounting to the frontline of African content

Most Nigerian entertainment executives came up through talent or music. Enyi came from the capital side — BSc Accounting from Delaware State University, seven years as a mutual fund accountant in the US, MBA from Widener University. He entered the creative industry speaking the language of investors, not artists.

That financial fluency in a market that runs on gut is his fundamental edge. He knows how to structure a financing conversation, what institutional investors need to see, and how to bridge informal creative markets to formal capital deployment. In the Nigerian context, that capability barely exists.

Over two decades he has built vertically — from TV commercials and music videos through scripted series, feature film financing, international content acquisition, talent management, and cross-border co-production. Each move put him closer to the intersection of African IP and global distribution infrastructure.
