Founder @ Cereforge | Full-Stack Systems Engineer & AI Software Evaluator

Every business juggles multiple tools for communication, collaboration, and payroll. At Cereforge Systems, we are replacing that fragmented foreign stack with one unified platform, billed in local currency. But building an enterprise operating system requires more than just code; it requires rigorous market validation. Since joining the iDICE Startup Founders Lab, my approach to building has fundamentally shifted. Instead of assuming what the market needs, the program’s structured modules pushed me to gather hard data and pressure-test the Cereforge architecture. That pivot into strict validation yielded massive results this week: • Secured 7 qualified enterprise leads through structured weekly surveys. • 5 of those leads rated the platform as "extremely valuable." • Secured AWS Activate Portfolio credits to power our backend AI infrastructure. This isn't just mentorship, it is real infrastructure support landing exactly when I need it. A massive thank you to the iDICE team, Bank of industry and Grazac for providing the ecosystem, infrastructure, and a highly conducive environment to build alongside like-minded founders. #TechStartup #EnterpriseSoftware #SaaS Cereforge iDice Startup Bridge Bank of Industry Limited Grazac #TechFounders AWS Startup Credits #NigeriaTech
