Did you miss the “POEM Framework” Webinar with Tomi Davies? Here’s Why You Should Catch Up.
Every startup founder dreams of one thing — growth that attracts investors. But let’s face it: having a great idea is one thing; building a business investors actually want to back is another.
That’s exactly what Tomi Davies (TD), Africa’s leading angel investor and startup mentor, unpacked during the POEM Framework Webinar held on October 18th, 2025.
And if you missed it (or joined late), you’ll definitely want to catch the replay — because this wasn’t just another startup talk. It was a masterclass in clarity, structure, and strategy for founders serious about scaling.
What the POEM Framework Is All About
During the session, TD introduced founders to a simple but powerful model known as the POEM Framework, which stands for:
P – Proposition, O – Organization, E – Economics, M – Milestones.
This framework provides a structured roadmap to help founders turn great ideas into investment-ready ventures. It’s a practical tool that takes you from “I have a startup idea” to “I have a business investors want to fund.”
Key Takeaways from the Webinar
Participants walked away with actionable insights that every founder should know, including:
-
How to communicate your startup story in a way that investors instantly understand and remember.
-
The crucial difference between building a product and building a business.
-
Why founders should view investors as partners, not just sources of money.
-
How to identify and measure the right milestones that prove real business growth.
