Oluwatosin Olaseinde founded Money Africa in 2018 with the inspiration of turning passion into reality.
“Financial literacy and investments are at the core of my passion as we create a tool to democratize access and means of wealth building for Millenials and Gen Z in the long term,” Olaseinde wrote on her LinkedIn bio.
Money Africa is a financial literacy and investment platform which she founded in Lagos.
In 2009 when the techpreneur was around 21, she worked as an auditor at Crowe Horwath International – Global Corporate Advisors (GCA) where she earned a fat salary.
At that time, being a graduate of accounting from the University of Johannesburg was not enough to save her from her early life mistakes.
She had poor saving culture and no investment plan. “Interestingly, over the years as I got an increase in salary, the same pattern occurred, I acquired a new taste and my expenses grew at the same pace as my income,” she had said.
The Money Africa boss later moved on to work with several multinationals like Bloomberg TV, CNBC Africa, BAT and as the Commercial Finance Manager (West Africa Markets) for British American Tobacco in 2017, a year before she founded Money Africa.
