Welcome back to another episode of the Believe It, Achieve It Podcast with June Angelides!
In this season June will be speaking to some of the Most Powerful Female Voices.
Today, June sits down with Odun Eweniyi, named by Vogue and Bloomberg as one of 12 Women Leaders That Changed The World In 2020. In 2019 she was named one of Forbes Africa 30 under 30 Technology as well as 30 Quartz Africa Innovators 2019. Odun, the Co-founder of Piggyvest and Female Coalition, is well-known for her work leading Nigeria's premier savings and investments platform Piggyvest to over 1 million users.
In July, Odunayo Eweniyi formed a group with 12 other women called the Feminist Coalition with the aim of improving the rights of Nigerian women. When anger about the unchecked police brutality by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) reached fever pitch in autumn, they launched into action with their first project — and the #EndSARS movement became a rallying cry around the world.
She is also a prolific angel investor and recently co-launched an early-stage fund for women-led startups called FirstCheck Africa.
FirstCheck Africa invests up to $25,000 in these startups and will work with women to help them raise a significant pre-seed round within 12 months. Odun is also a board member of Village Capital - a US-based venture firm that's invested in over 110 startups who have gone to raise over $4 billion in capital.
