  • The Blueprint for Impactful Entrepreneurship: Lessons from Nelson Ajulo on Growth, Innovation, and Giving Back
    Jan 26 2025

    In this episode of the Whole Human Podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with Nelson Ajulo, an extraordinary entrepreneur and venture capitalist from Nigeria. Nelson’s journey is nothing short of inspiring—he started his first business at just 18 and has since become a multi-founder and a champion for entrepreneurs across Africa.

    We dive into the vibrant entrepreneurial spirit in Nigeria, where resourcefulness and determination are abundant, but resources and access often fall short. Nelson shares his thoughts on bridging that gap, emphasizing the transformative power of knowledge, mentorship, and investment in helping businesses scale.

    He also introduces us to his groundbreaking ventures, Job ID and Zartek, which are redefining opportunity creation. Job ID, often described as LinkedIn for Africa, connects professionals across the continent while redistributing wealth back into the community. Zartek, on the other hand, leverages technology to scale talent and drive innovation.

    Our conversation wraps up with Nelson’s vision for the future of African entrepreneurship and the critical role investors play in fostering sustainable growth. If you’re passionate about innovation, impact, and the power of entrepreneurship to change lives, this episode is one you won’t want to miss!
