The central question
What if capital is not where enterprise begins?
Producing value is one thing.
Retaining it is another.
Across African farms, workshops, classrooms and creative industries, talent and effort generate value every day. Yet the people who create that value do not always control the rights, brands, distribution or customer relationships that turn it into lasting wealth.
From Creativity to Capital examines the journey from productive activity to owned assets. Drawing connections between film, agriculture, education and digital enterprise, Anthony Omokhodion asks what entrepreneurs already possess, who will pay for the value they can create, and how one productive activity can help finance the next.
A book for entrepreneurs, creators, farmers, educators and institution builders who want greater ownership, agency and choice. External investment has a role; the question is whether waiting for it must always be the first step.
Inside the argument
Six ideas. A different
starting point.
From the value we overlook to the institutions we can build, these themes connect creativity with the responsibilities of ownership.
The financing question
Grants, loans, investors and the cost of capital. Rethinking outside finance as the automatic condition for beginning.
Intellectual property
The unseen value in stories, brands, methods and ideas—and the contracts that determine who benefits.
AI & digital reach
How accessible technology changes creation, distribution and customer access, while raising new ownership questions.
Capturing African value
Connections between cinema and agriculture: processing, branding, licensing and reaching the final customer.
Enterprise that endures
Moving from individual production towards evidence, disciplined reinvestment and durable African-owned institutions.
Identify what you have.
Create something useful.
Let one productive step help finance the next.
Forthcoming companion book
The Self-Financing Enterprise
