Building PawaVox | Finance

Lagos, NG.

About

First class in Finance from the University of Lagos. I came out of school with offers and turned them all down.

Ended up in an argument at a career fair that changed everything. That argument led to a conversation, and that conversation led to building PawaVox, a field intelligence platform that captures voice and video data in any language, GPS-tagged to the exact location it happens. Built for NGOs, field teams, and organizations that need verifiable ground-level data.

I build it through Fast Forward Venture Studio in Lagos as an Entrepreneur in Residence. Finance is my foundation. Building is the work right now.
