Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from the communities I serve through YUP. Seeing young people full of potential but lacking access to opportunity drives everything I build. I’m also inspired by founders who create solutions that go beyond profit and truly change lives. For me, business is not just about success—it’s about solving real problems and creating impact where it’s needed most.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering the people behind the problems I’m solving. Whether it’s a student without access to education or a patient we’ve supported through YUP, their stories push me forward. I also stay grounded by taking time to reflect and reset, knowing that consistency, not just intensity, is what builds lasting impact.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest in expanding access to education in rural Rwanda by supporting early learning centers, providing materials, and introducing tech and entrepreneurship training for young students. At the same time, I would scale my existing startups to reach more people and create sustainable impact. My goal is to turn opportunity into something accessible for every young person, regardless of where they come from.
