I hope this week goes really well for you.

We're speaking to Otoloye, CEO of Wajusoft, this Thursday by 5pm

Otoloye grew wajusoft.com from a small Dev shop, to a Startup that serves multiple companies across almost every continent, headquartered in the US. The twist? He didn't even set out to start a company at all!

Join us this Thursday, 5pm WAT for a conversation with him about the unique challenges he's faced in building an international organization as an African, and how he overcame them.
