BUILDING BEYOND YOU

By
Tara Fela Durotoye

The Building Beyond You Conference is a landmark gathering of 1,000 African founders and entrepreneurs driven by a shared desire to build businesses that transcend their personal brands.

This conference is inspired by the remarkable 26-year journey and recent leadership transition of House of Tara International — a pioneering beauty brand on the African continent.

This platform is designed to empower entrepreneurs with the tools, insights, and strategies required to scale from founder-led brands to sustainable institutions.

This is for you if you are a founder and entrepreneur who is:

  • • Intrigued by the idea of building beyond yourself
  • • Navigating transitions in your own businesses
  • • Interested in drawing inspiration from House of Tara's transition from founder-led to institution-led
