Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration in business comes from my journey—having left Nigeria with only $100, courtesy of the Korean Government Scholarship in 2013. This experience fueled my passion to create Scholarships Cafe, a platform that helps students access educational opportunities worldwide. I am driven to empower others, just like I was, by providing them with the resources and support they need to achieve their academic goals and create meaningful change in their lives.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by the countless success stories of the people we have supported through Scholarships Cafe. Seeing how our platform has transformed lives—helping students gain access to scholarships, pursue higher education, and secure opportunities globally—reminds me of the impact we’re making. These stories fuel my passion to keep pushing forward, knowing that our work is directly contributing to the growth and success of individuals around the world.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would integrate an AI-driven document optimization tool into Scholarships Cafe, enhancing its functionality to help students craft competitive scholarship applications. This tool would use advanced AI to provide real-time content generation, grammar checks, formatting corrections, and tailored suggestions for resumes, cover letters, and statements of purpose, boosting their chances of success.
