Ideas, Cheques & Capital

Raising money is one of the hardest — and most important — things a founder or nonprofit leader will ever do. Ideas, Cheques & Capital was written to make that journey clearer, smarter, and a lot less lonely.
 
Inside, Dr. Solomon King shares lessons from years of leading Lagos Angel Network, building Boodl., and advising founders across Africa. The book blends storytelling, practical frameworks, and case studies of African startups and social ventures that have successfully (and unsuccessfully) raised capital.
 
This is not just a book about fundraising — it’s a book about building relationships, mastering credibility, and learning to think like an investor so you can keep raising round after round.
 
If you’ve ever wondered where the money is, how to get it, and how to make sure you don’t lose yourself or your business in the process — this is your guide.
