VPay Africa’s Post

Had the most eventful 5 weeks of my life at Draper University Silicon Valley as part of the Hero fall program. I believe this journey was a life changing experience with so much lessons. Met people from 27 countries, which was awesome and gave me insights to the inspirations behind their startup ideas. The program was packed with so much knowledge and every person was so open to sharing and giving feedbacks and suggestions to others to help them improve their ideas. Also, the lineup of speakers during the entire program was amazing. With each speaker sharing their experiences and their journeys, with so much transparency and encouragement for everyone building their startups. More than technology, this experience was a great self development and discovery exercise. Nothing will ever be the same again, but in a good way. Also, the pledge was awesome and valuable words to live by, with my favorite line being “I will do everything in my power to drive, build and pursue progress and change.” I will like to say a big thank you to the NSIA: Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority for making this a reality. Excited for the future. Also, what better way to graduate than as a superhero 🦸 🦸🦸
