Engineering a new era of African enterprise —one founder, one institution, one continent at a time.
Jimoh Habibullahi builds where ambition meets execution — mentoring the founders, forging the partnerships, and standing up the institutions that turn bold African ideas into enduring, world-class enterprise.
About
For more than a decade, Jimoh Habibullahi has worked at the intersection of enterprise, education, and public interest — mentoring over 120 founders, reaching more than 5,000 students, and advising the universities, accelerators, and public institutions shaping how Africa builds. His work is anchored in a single conviction: that lasting innovation is built with proximity to the problem and patience with the people solving it.
Through structured mentorship, cross-border convenings, and the quiet, compounding work of institution building, he is helping a new generation of Africans move from promising ideas to companies, capital, and civic leadership that outlast any single program.
Learn moreAfrica's next chapter will not be written by capital alone. It will be written by the founders we mentor, the institutions we build, and the young people we trust with the work.
