From co-founding transformative companies like Andela and Flutterwave to establishing Future Africa, Aboyeji has continually focused on empowering people and connecting Africa to global opportunities.

The Vision behind Andela

Andela was born out of a critical question: how can Africa leverage its young, talented workforce in a global tech economy? The answer, for Aboyeji and his co-founders, was to provide African developers with world-class training and place them in high-paying global tech jobs. Through this approach, Andela enabled numerous African engineers to work remotely for leading companies worldwide, effectively narrowing the gap between Africa and the global tech industry.

Flutterwave enables secure, easy payments across more than 30 African countries, simplifying e-commerce and connecting African businesses to global markets. The company’s success has not only increased e-commerce in Africa but also demonstrated that African startups can lead innovations in global fintech.

Future Africa: Supporting the Next Generation of Innovators

Future Africa represents a shift in Aboyeji’s approach—from building companies to building ecosystems. Through this platform, he provides funding, mentorship, and strategic resources to startups addressing some of Africa’s biggest challenges. By empowering young African entrepreneurs, Future Africa aims to drive sustainable growth and create jobs, uplifting entire communities. The initiative has invested in healthtech, agritech, edtech, and more, creating pathways for African-led solutions to African issues.
