Hi, I'm Damola.

I came to the U.S. from Nigeria with my family when I was five. Like a lot of immigrant kids, I learned to adapt quickly. New country, new systems, new cultures, and new environments to move through. That early experience taught me how to navigate uncertainty with focus and resilience.

My career has followed that same rhythm. I’ve built and scaled software, started nonprofits, and co-founded a venture-backed SaaS company from scratch. I know what it feels like to bet on something before the world agrees it matters.

What drives me is helping founders do hard things. I don’t show up with hype. I show up with clarity, execution, and a willingness to get in the weeds when needed. I care deeply about the people building, especially those doing it without a safety net. The ones who lead with urgency, not ego.

I’m proud of the things I’ve built, but more proud of who I’ve built them with. I try to be a steady partner in the work and at home by staying disciplined and consistent.

I’m still learning. Still building. Always trying to get better.

"Building something meaningful will always be hard AF."

At Mudita, I’m looking to work with founders who are obsessive about solving hard problems and disciplined in how they build. I’m drawn to people who’ve seen something broken or ineffective in the real world and are committed to fixing it with focus and urgency. I gravitate toward underdog energy, untapped markets, and early momentum others might overlook.

My goal is to be a true partner: someone who brings strategic clarity, keeps the bar high, and sticks around when things get messy. I want to support founders who are values-driven, sharp on execution, and who don’t just want to win but want to matter.

I’m especially excited about solutions that create real leverage for everyday people and ideas that challenge dominant systems. If you're building with that kind of ambition and thoughtfulness, I want to help you go further and faster.
