As part of its plan to create a network of business angels that provide funding and mentoring to early-stage ventures, The Lagos Angel Network (LAN) committed to raising ₦100 million for Lagos-based startups in 2016.

Through a quarterly event known as the Lagos StartUp DealDay, where startups pitch to receive the fund, LAN set the ball rolling. Investors seeking access to the startup pool on the DealDay commit no less than ₦5 million on the day.

The first DealDay was held in March, where LAN claimed to raise the sum of ₦50 million that was invested both in Big Cabal Media and Café Neo. The 2nd edition of the DealDay was held on the 30th of June with 3 startups receiving an undisclosed amount.
