It's Valentine's week!!
And you already know how extra I can get with these things.
In today's episode, I brought you a special guest, my husband, Kayode Oyewole.
Apart from being my husband, Kayode is a Partner at Ventures Platform where he spends most of his time making bold bets in early-stage companies building products that literarily push Africa forward and supporting portfolio companies as they find product-market fit and scale. He is a firm believer in reasoning from first principles. He regularly asks “How can Africa leverage technology as a force for good to solve really critical problems and ensure shared prosperity on the continent ”, This fuels his passion to invest in mission-driven founders.
Kayode served as a mentor on the Village Capital Fintech Africa Program and the Africa Entrepreneurship Award, where he provided advisory around product, distribution, and fundraising to about 50 companies who have gone ahead to raise millions (USD)in external funding. He helped Seedstars set up their pilot Venture building program in Nigeria.
He is a 2-time founder and was an Entrepreneur in Training (EIT) at Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST), supported by the Meltwater Group (San Francisco)
