Testimonials
Oluwatobi Odukoya, Founder & CEO of CDcare
“I’ve had the privilege of working with Oyin, and I can confidently say she possesses a rare talent for identifying and nurturing high-potential startups. Oyin was the first to recognize that CDcare's savings-first model was uniquely suited to the African market, a testament to her deep understanding of emerging markets and her ability to adapt innovative solutions to fit local contexts. What sets Oyin apart is her global mindset. She engages with founders thoughtfully, listening carefully and offering insightful feedback, without imposing a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, she encourages founders to shape their businesses around market realities, a skill that is valuable in any region or industry. I believe Oyin is poised to identify and develop the next generation of unicorns, not just in Africa but globally.”

“My journey as a founder would have taken a completely different path had I not met Oyin through the Techstars accelerator. Oyin has been more than just an investor, she’s been an invaluable mentor —offering unwavering support, incredible resources, and her unique ability to see potential where others may not. Oyin has consistently challenged me to step outside my comfort zone and show up as the best version of myself, both as a leader and an individual. Her belief in my vision, paired with her guidance, has been pivotal in shaping the trajectory of Beauty Hut. Any founder would be fortunate to have her in their corner.”
