About

Having successfully navigated the Founder Institute accelerator (FI 2023) as CEO/Co-founder of Vevet (https://vevet.co), I understand the challenges founders face. I now mentor at the same FI Accelerator (USA), sharing my expertise in fundraising and product development honed through building and launching fintech/e-commerce apps and 7+ years of software engineering at Chipper Cash (an African unicorn) and Stanbic IBTC (a top 10 bank in Nigeria). My Master’s in IT further strengthens my ability to support founders

Mentorship motivation

I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up

I’m driven to give back to the startup ecosystem because I’ve benefited from mentorship and believe in paying it forward. I want to fuel innovation by supporting entrepreneurs, find personal fulfilment in helping others succeed, and enjoy the continuous learning that comes with mentoring. Ultimately, I want to contribute to building a stronger, more collaborative startup community.
