This week, I'm releasing a 1-hour conversation with
@aguboss_, Founder and CEO of
@KoboxFinance.
Aguda Toluwanimi studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Lagos, but his journey eventually took him into Web3, where he has worked across marketing, product, consulting, and ecosystem development with organisations including The Graph, ValleyDAO, SingularityNET, and ResearchHub.
But one of the most important parts of his story started much closer to home.
As the founder of
@Web3Unilag , Aguda helped build a student community that introduced thousands of young people to opportunities in blockchain.
That experience gave him a front-row seat to a problem others weren't paying attention to, and eventually became part of the thesis behind what he's building today with KoboX.
We talk about:
- Growing up and the early experiences that shaped his worldview
- Where he got the fire in his belly
- What he saw that others didn't that led him to build KoboX
- What people get wrong about building communities
- His plan to onboard an older generation to crypto
- How much of his own life runs on crypto today
And much more.
