ClickUp × mAIstro A partnership built for the room you should already own.
ClickUp came in at $3K last year and sent a teammate to speak. That was a feeler — and it worked. This is the version where ClickUp leads.
Three rooms. One ClickUp.
Weekly Lock-Ins
Online virtual masterminds. Year-round mindshare with operators who show up.
Monthly Lock-Ins
In-person — Cape Town, US cities, Bali. ClickUp logo in every room.
AfricAI Summit 2027
Cape Town. 500+ attendees. AI Film Awards · Sharjah/Dubai partnership.
One signature locks ClickUp into every room — 52 weeks, 12 cities, one summit.
A real partnership. No vague terms.
Most sponsorship pitches hide what the founder gets out of it. I'd rather be transparent — when both sides win, it lasts.
ClickUp
— what they get
-
→
Brand recognition in front of buyers
Operators, agency owners, AI-first founders. The exact people who run ClickUp workspaces — or are about to. Every event puts ClickUp in front of them.
-
→
Active downloads, not impressions
Live tool onboarding at every Lock-In. We walk attendees through actually signing up and building inside ClickUp on the spot. You leave with real users.
-
→
Original content built for you
Event recaps, IG reels, YouTube integrations — handed over for ClickUp's channels too. If you need specific edits or angles, name them.
-
→
Open to shape it with us
If ClickUp wants a custom integration showcase, a workshop track, an audience survey — say it. Sponsorship shouldn't be a template. We build it together.
-
01
Becoming THE AI company in Cape Town
My goal is to own this space here. The company everyone knows hosts the rooms, throws the events, runs the conversation. ClickUp anchoring accelerates that by years.
-
02
Keeping the cadence sustainable
Venues, production, travel between cities — all real costs that compound across 65 events. A sponsor takes that friction off so I can focus on the rooms, not the logistics.
-
03
Building with ClickUp, not for ClickUp
I'd rather have one partner I trust deep than ten brands I chase shallow. ClickUp aligns with what we're already doing. That makes everything easier.
-
04
A relationship that compounds
If this works, we run it again — bigger — in '28 and '29. I want a partner I can build a decade with. You already know me. That's most of the work done.
When both sides win, the partnership lasts. That's the only kind I'm interested in.

AI Lock-In + Therapy Masterminds.
Year-round reach. 40–80 founders every two weeks. Four continents. Six sold-out workshops so far.
Not hypothetical. Receipts.
Every campaign here is a real brand, a real dollar amount, and a real performance number.
Reel crossed 2 million views with strong engagement. Vidyo's team data-confirmed ROI and came back for round two.
48K views + 200+ comment-to-DM leads via ManyChat flow. Framed as "200 comments = 200 leads for you."
Post went viral at 1.2M+ views. Ampfit's ICP (high-performers optimizing health) matched perfectly.
Multiple Wix + Base44 campaigns. "Try It On" still driving DMs weeks after posting. Direct relationship with the Wix partnerships team.
Two ways in.
I only conduct tools worth conducting. Which is why brands like Wix, Lovable, and NVIDIA keep coming back. Pick your lane.
Content that converts.
Your product, in front of 281K founders and operators actively looking for the next tool to install. Reels, YouTube integrations, newsletter drops — engineered for signups, not just views.

World-class speakers. Sold-out rooms.
23 speakers from 12 countries at AfricAI 2026. These are the operators your audience already follows.
The room speaks for itself.
Unedited reviews from AfricAI 2026 attendees. Collected via Senja.
Met so many amazing people, and learnt so much from all the incredibly smart people I was able to connect with. The week far exceeded my expectations, and was for sure the best investment I could have made this year.
The event was so beautifully curated. From food, to decoration, to people. Akil did really well with creating such a strong sense of inclusivity between all people attending the event.
AfricAI is for anyone who is looking for an opportunity to spend time with people that are driven to achieve their goals and wants to learn about AI and business. Great place to be if you want to accelerate your learnings and results.
I realised again how massive this AI opportunity is. And that I can be part of the transformation. I can live a different life by fully going for this opportunity and breaking free from the employee lifestyle.
Super grateful for the opportunity and the people. Everyone was great. Everyone was great. There's not one person that was not great.
Phenomenal experience. Very well prepared and amazing events. Every VIP I met was awesome too.
Three reasons it's your room.
Our audience is your audience.
Operators. Builders. Agency owners. The people running ClickUp workspaces — or about to. AfricAI doesn't attract spectators. It attracts the buyers. If a SaaS exec hand-picked the room, they'd hand-pick this one.
Africa is white space for US SaaS.
Most US tools haven't put a flag down here. The continent's AI economy is being built right now — and the brand that anchors first owns the narrative for the next decade. Asana and Monday aren't here. ClickUp can be.
The film angle is rare media.
SaaS companies don't show up in creator and film spaces. The first AI Film Awards on the continent puts ClickUp on a red carpet beside Higgsfield and Sam Kolder. That's earned media most of your competitors can't buy.
One year. Three rooms. One ClickUp.
Every Lock-In. Every weekly. The AfricAI Summit. ClickUp anchored across all of it — twelve months, one signature.
Weekly Lock-Ins
Online virtual mastermind calls. Year-round mindshare with operators who actively show up.
Monthly Lock-Ins
In-person events across Cape Town, US cities, Bali. ClickUp logo in every room, every month.

What sponsors ask.
Who actually shows up? +
Founders building AI-first businesses, agency operators, creators scaling past $10K/mo, and a growing enterprise segment (CTOs, Heads of AI). AfricAI 2026 sold out at 355 attendees; 2027 is tracking to 500+.
What's "live tool onboarding"? +
We set up a dedicated station at the event where my team walks attendees through installing, signing up for, and actually using your tool on the spot. You leave with hundreds of real users — not just impressions.
Can I combine a brand deal with event sponsorship? +
Yes, and this is usually where the ROI spikes. Reel drives awareness, event drives trial, post-event content drives retention. Bundles typically save 20-30% vs buying separately.
What's the audience breakdown? +
281K IG followers, YouTube channel growing at 3 videos/week, Beehiiv newsletter feeding the Just Build community. Core audience: 22-45 year-old founders, agency operators, and AI-curious professionals. US-heavy with strong pockets in Europe, SA, and India.
How do you report results? +
Every campaign comes with a post-delivery report: reach, clicks, signups via UTM tracking, attendee demo data, and qualitative feedback. For bigger partnerships, Fireflies-recorded strategy calls and a mid-campaign check-in.
I've worked with Akil before. Is there a returning rate? +
Yes. Returning brands get priority slots and a warm-partner rate. Reference the last deal in your first email and we'll move fast.
Do you have a media kit? +
Yes. Request it via the call or email and you'll get the full PDF (audience demographics, past campaign case studies, event sponsor deck, rate cards for internal review).
Friday May 9.
A yes, a pass, or "let's talk" — all good answers. Just not silence.
Text me back when you've watched it.
— Akil. Appreciate you brother. Go conduct.
