I remember cold emailing Yele in 2017 to get access to a starta event that hosted I think MIT and 500 startups. He was very impressed with my and gave me access to the event ‘because’ I was persistent. He’s def the real deal and I wish him greater success in ‘new co.’ Thanks a lot team for your dedication to founders connect. I pray more strength and witty inventions to you and your team.
Thank you so much
I admire Yele so much. I love the way he talks about focus and structure when starting out. The thing about thinking using first principles is very essential as it sets a tone for future success once the foundation is well understood.
The 3 P’s which he mention and the importance of mindset in friendships are definitely my takeaways from this conversation. Thank you to you and your team Peace for making this interview possible.
I remember wishlisting this episode when Peace asked for feedback on Founders' connect so far and she gave the 'spoiler' that this was in the offing!
Seeing it here is pure gold for me.
Not just because Yele's Journey began in Ibadan or I'm quite familiar with the Bademosis' heritage in the city but also because of Yele's high level of Self-Awareness.
His ability to acknowledge clearly his strengths, purpose, vision, path to growth and know the vehicles to drive these.
I'm familiar with Yele, the Crypto guy, Bundle Founder, Microtraction Partner etc. This episode exposed me to Yele, the person
Thank you Peace for this!
My Cold Email, soon come.
I love love love love love love this comment. Thank so much your support.
This dude is very very witty and knows what he wants. 👌🏿👊🏿
He is super cool
I totally agree with Yele, business is about having a secret nobody else is seeing and attacking it differently.
This! Very strong point
Awesome piece. Enjoyed every bit

Yele!!
Peace dropping content, Back to Back to Back🔥
back to back o. Not ending soon
@@PeaceItimiofficial wouldn't want it any other way ✨
I'd like to think that Yele coming at this time is a way of Peace trying to absorb startups looking for investors.
Those that have been looking for investors... Here's the door wide open for you. All you need is to simply walk in.
If you don't see the door, then you are either not ready for a startup or not looking for investors.
Best of luck to the lucky ones.
Best of luck to them indeed
Yele!!! YES!!!
