DealDey, also called Lagos StartUp DealDey, is a quarterly startup investment round organised by the Lagos Angel Network. It was first organised in March 2016, and over the last two years, it has helped to raise over N200 million in startup funding from investors.

Lagos StartUp DealDey helped to fund startups like Café Neo, Big Cabal Media and Versecom.

Applications for the first Lagos Startup DealDey of 2018 is open and will close March 24, 2018.
