In this episode of Made in Africa, we sit down with Wale Oyegunle, co-founder and CEO of Vendblue, a fast-growing platform helping creators monetize their content and build sustainable income streams.
Wale shares how the idea for Vendblue was born during the lockdown when he began creating content himself and noticed a gap in how African creators could earn directly from their audience. He walks us through the early days of building the product, the thrill of landing their first paying customer, and how creators from Uganda to Brazil are now using Vendblue to power their creative businesses.
We also dive into his partnership with co-founder Chukwudiebube, exploring how they manage disagreements, make key decisions, and keep their vision aligned while scaling an ambitious startup.
