This case study examines the Cascador program, a high-impact accelerator designed to scale mid-stage Nigerian enterprises through a combination of rigorous education, mentorship, and catalytic capital.
The Cascador program is an intensive, in-depth examination of leadership skills, business model, fiscal and operational strength, and value proposition by veteran faculty. The program includes six months of mentorship post-program to ensure fellows can apply what they learn in the real world. In mobility, the focus is on models that expand access, improve productivity and enable asset ownership. Drive45 operates a rent to own platform for cars that converts monthly payments into ownership over three to six years, addressing Nigeria’s affordability gap for both corporates and individuals.
