About

I am an AI enthusiast focused on building equity-driven platforms that empower African entrepreneurs. With a deep interest in Tech for Good, African startup ecosystems, and AI-powered solutions, I’m passionate about creating tools that solve real problems whether it’s through smarter funding platforms, GPT integrations, or inclusive product design. I love exploring what’s possible at the intersection of innovation and impact, from startup pitch decks to mentoring spaces and everything in between. Always on the lookout for ideas, people, and products that move the continent forward.

What's your reason to come back to PH and participate?

Many people wanted to get into the Forbes 30 Under 30.
