Building Beyond You Conference
Empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs and leaders
Building Beyond You
By
Tara Fela Durotoye
Building Beyond You is a conference for African founders and entrepreneurs who are ready to evolve from being the engine of their business to building one that runs with or without them.
Whether you’re in the growth stage, where everything still depends on you, where your name drives the brand, your hands are in every operation, and the business slows when you take a break or in the maturity stage, where the business is stable but you’re now seeking to institutionalize your brand, this conference is for you.
This isn’t just for those looking to exit. It’s for entrepreneurs who want to build companies with backbone. With systems. With teams and operations that can function, grow, and scale without them in every room.
At this conference, you’ll learn how to:
• Build structures that reduce founder-reliance
• Design operations that empower your team
• Navigate business transitions with clarity
• Scale with sustainability and strategy
• Draw lessons from real-life examples like House of Tara’s evolution from founder-led to institution-led
This is not about stepping away. It’s about stepping up to leadership. To structure. To legacy. To building a business that thrives BEYOND YOU.
