Ifeoluwa Ogunbufunmi

I’m currently the Founder & Chief Strategist at SWIF, a leading startup advisory firm supporting founders and aspiring founders with taking big bets on their ideas and figuring out the missing pieces.

Over the past 8 years in my career, I’ve supported startups with ideation, step-by-step strategy implementation, marketing, winning pitch decks, product-market fit, go-to-market plans, and execution plans, to launch and scale impactful & profitable businesses.

As a Chief Strategist at SWIF, I’ve worked with 100+ clients across 13 countries, including leading & global startups and scaleups, supporting them extensively with market penetration, marketing plans, growth plans, and go-to-market plans for digital innovation and transformation, across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the UK, and North America.

I’m passionate about mentoring to help startups get things right as early as possible, and provide the right guidance to build sustainable companies that keep their customers satisfied and retained.

This is the key reason why I currently work with the following leading startup accelerators in Africa and Europe as a Venture Coach and Startup Adviser: Barclays Eagle Labs, Techscaler by the Scottish Government, Lagos State Innovates Founders Program, AfricArena Accelerator, Foundervine, CodeBase Scotland, and the Oxford Artificial Intelligence (AI) Society, and facilitating multiple Masterclasses & Workshops.

I have an MBA from the University of Oxford and I’m a UK Global Talent (endorsed by the UK Government as a Tech Strategy Leader).

I’m excited at the opportunity to join the Mentorship Marketplace with VC4A!

Mentoring with VC4A presents an excellent opportunity for me to support startup founders in getting things right in the early building stages.
