Saturday 5 September 2026. Ikoyi, Lagos.
A small number of seats, extended by invitation. What this table offers isn’t measured in money, it exists to fill a gap this city has carried for too long: a room where the people building the most can finally speak freely, and gain from each other.
Tell us what you’re building and what you’re burning. If the table is right for you, you’ll hear from us.
Request an InvitationIn good company.
Burn Rate Brunch is supported by a small circle of partners we trust at our own table.
An evening worth dressing for.
No agenda on the wall, no lanyard on your chest. Just a generous evening, good food, good music, and the kind of conversation you can’t have anywhere else.
Welcome
You arrive to music and a cocktail in hand, or a mocktail, if that's your speed. No registration desk. The room warms up around you.
Dinner
A three-course dinner, properly done, with drinks flowing throughout. The rest, you'll discover at the table.
Conversation
Guided, unscripted, and honest. Stories and laughter first, then the real state of things: what's working, what's costing, what nobody posts about. Playbooks and introductions move around the table all evening.
Afterglow
It's a party. Fun games and music.
Come hungry, come honest. Leave lighter than you arrived.
The company you’ll keep.
Our guest list is personal, never public. Around this table you’ll find the people quietly building the businesses this country runs on, different industries, different stories, the same seriousness.
The fintech founders
Moving real volume and carrying the pressure that comes with it.
The energy and oil & gas owners
Running operations where the stakes are never small.
The women who own and lead
Across every industry at this table, from fintech to energy to real estate and beyond.
The real estate and construction principals
And the people who finance what they build.
The executives with real mandates
Leading in banking, tech, retail, and industry.
The investors
Who back the rest of the table, and know what it costs.
The professionals rising into wealth
Law, finance, medicine, real estate, succeeding faster than anyone prepared them for.
Most of our guests arrive the same way: someone at the table said, “you belong here.”
The business scene runs on optics. This table runs on truth.
Request an invitationNot another networking event. We keep the circle small, a room of serious builders across industries, dropping the act, talking honestly, and building relationships that actually hold.
What's said here stays here
No titles. Just first names. Phones away. The conversation belongs to the table and no one else, which is exactly why the real ones happen at it.
No one to impress
No pitch decks. No panels. No podium. Everyone at this table has already done enough, so it's time to relax and be refilled.
You don't leave empty-handed
A playbook from someone a few steps ahead. An introduction you'd never get cold. An answer to the thing keeping you up. At the very least, an evening with people that understand the struggles, a room that takes weight off.
Publicly, everyone is winning. Privately, everyone is burning something.
Capital. Time. Energy. Relationships. Confidence. Every serious builder is burning at least one, and almost nowhere in Lagos can they say so out loud. Burn Rate Brunch is that room: a small, intimate table of founders, owners, investors, and executives, one Saturday evening a month. Off the record, properly fed, and in remarkable company.
A private table for the people building under pressure.
