For Daniel Iloh, attending this year’s London Tech Week was more than a networking opportunity. It was a wake-up call and a vision reset. The Nigerian entrepreneur, known for his work with African service providers, e-commerce brands, and digital creators, returned from the event with a renewed mission: “Africa isn’t behind, it’s just underserved and that’s an opportunity.”
In a week dominated by global conversations on artificial intelligence, the future of work, automation, and the booming creator economy, Iloh came to a clarifying conclusion: the continent’s greatest challenge is not technology it’s access. More specifically, access to simplicity.
“In most of the sessions I attended,” Iloh said, “one thing stood out: the global tech wave is accelerating, but the solutions being developed are built for advanced ecosystems. In Africa, most entrepreneurs just need a simple way to sell a product, book a service, or grow a business without coding, stress, or expensive tools.”
That pain point inspired Iloh to co-create Selstack, a digital platform tailored for African creators, course sellers, and coaches. Selstack enables users to build funnels, sell products, and automate income without juggling ten different apps or needing a tech team.
“The buzzwords may be AI and Web3,” he continued, “but on the ground in Africa, people want clarity and tools that just work.” For Iloh, this is not theory, it’s practice. Through Daniel Iloh Limited, his system-driven ad agency, he has helped countless African businesses scale with practical strategies that include; Facebook & Instagram ads, Email marketing automation, and Conversion-optimized sales systems.
“We don’t need more tools. We need more translators,” Iloh emphasized. “People who can simplify complexity, not complicate it.”
For Iloh, London Tech Week didn’t just showcase where technology is going. It underscored where his efforts are most needed. “This isn’t about copying Silicon Valley,” he said. “It’s about creating platforms that serve African realities.”
Beyond Selstack, Iloh is doubling down on education through the Daniel Iloh Business School, training entrepreneurs to build systems and campaigns that deliver results, not hype.
“The future is automated, personalized, and platform-driven,” he said. “But it must also be local, simple, and scalable.”
Final Word: Don’t Wait for Perfect Conditions
To those currently building something a course, a product, a brand. Iloh offers a clear message: “The tools are here. The systems exist. What’s missing is clarity and action. And that’s what I want to help people find.”
