What is Office
Hours?

The Office Hours Launchpad by The Fashion Law Africa Summit (TFLAS) is a 5-month accelerator-style program designed to equip emerging and growing fashion and beauty founders with the tools, mentorship, and legal knowledge to scale their ventures confidently and sustainably.

​

Through hands-on workshops, legal clinics, and founder-to-founder sessions, this program bridges the gap between creativity and business strategy — helping Black and Brown founders in particular to thrive in competitive markets.
