Masterclass Overview

Nigeria holds vast land wealth, yet much of it remains “dead capital” — valuable on paper but producing no income, liquidity, or tangible benefits for its owners. Land as Capital is a full-day masterclass designed to equip landowners, developers, cooperative leaders, DAO members, and investors with practical frameworks, legal tools, and financing models to turn land into cash flow and community value.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this masterclass, participants will:

1. Understand joint venture structures for land-based development.
2. Learn how to pool land and capital for infrastructure-first projects.
3. Explore co-development and co-ownership models for shared returns.
4. See live demonstrations of infrastructure & utilities-as-a-service (security, power, water, roads).
5. Access templates for term sheets, JV agreements, and governance bylaws.
6. Connect directly with potential partners and investors in our Deal Room.
