SewPro receives ₦5m NiYA-Cascador growth grant
The Nigerian software company is one of eight businesses awarded ₦5 million each after the founders programme’s Pitch Day.
SewPro has been awarded ₦5 million in non-dilutive growth funding through the NiYA-Cascador Founders Programme. Led by Andrew Ogbeh, the company provides digital business management tools for tailors and fashion entrepreneurs.
Cascador selected eight winners after a four-week programme combining business training, mentorship and regulatory guidance. The award gives SewPro growth capital without requiring its founder to sell equity.
Participants also receive access to the SMECore enterprise resource planning platform and retain NiYA alumni status. The initiative pairs Cascador’s funding with enterprise development support from Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Youth Development and the Nigerian Youth Academy.
