In this episode of OnPeople, we sit with Damilola Teidi-Ayoola, a driving force behind Africa’s tech ecosystem. With over 14 years of experience enabling startups across the continent, from leading roles at GoMyWay and Co-Creation Hub to her current work at Ventures Platform, Damilola opens up about building scalable support systems for founders, balancing empathy with accountability, and what it truly means to be an ecosystem builder.
She also reflects on her entrepreneurial journey, the lessons from running a mobility startup before its time, and the non-financial supports that will shape the future of African founders.
If you're a founder, ecosystem operator, or just passionate about Africa’s tech evolution, this conversation is your playbook.
