Oluwatosin Olaseinde is the founder of Money Africa, a financial literacy platform (EdTech) and Ladda, a one-stop investment platform that gives you access to an array of products including Savings, Mutual funds and Stocks (Fintech). She is also one of LinkedIn's Top Voices on Finance and Economy.


On this episode of #FoundersConnect, I sit down with Tosin and we talk about her journey so far. She shares stories from her days working at CNBC and Bloomberg, how she relocated back to Nigeria and went completely broke; and how she accidentally made a business of her passion. She also shares her biggest life lessons, favourite failures and plans for the near future.


This was a very amazing conversation. You’d surely enjoy it.
