About

1994: Born in London and sent to live in Ghana. Age 11: Came back to South London living on a 4th floor council estate. Age 14: Started tutoring biz. Made £500 (woop) Age 17: Started EntrepreneurXpress (sold for £110,000 wooop) Age 21: Started Fanbytes with my friends in uni. Age 21 - 27: A blur. Grew the team to 80 people, raised $2m in funding. Won clients like Deliveroo, Samsung and the UK Government. Age 27: Sold the company to independent agency Brainlabs in a multi 8 figure deal.( wooooooop) Age 29: Brokered two more business exits. Age 30: Building more sellable companies with great founders. _ 3 years ago, I sold my company Fanbytes for 8-figures. Now, I help entrepreneurs scale their business from £50K+ a month to an exit worth millions. In my experience, most founders don’t realise the biggest mistake that they are making: → If your business can’t run without you, it’s not a business. It’s a bottleneck. You don’t get freedom. You don’t get options. And you definitely don’t get bought. That’s why I help founders build companies buyers actually want to buy. Even if you’re not thinking about selling right now, You should be building like you are. If you want to build an asset worth owning... Follow to learn how to build a business you can sell for millions.

Forthcoming book tentatively called "What's Stopping You".
I believe we all have a version of us who is the confident, successful person we know we can be.
But too often we get in our way. I certainly did. And it took years for me to overcome myself + eventually become "successful".
What's Stopping You is my way of sharing with you mental frameworks and principles to help you win at the game of life and business.
Coming out Jan 2026 as one of Penguin's Flagship Books.

Failed businesses

Chief Failure Officer

Jan 2015 – Mar 2017 · 2 yrs 2 mos · London Area, United Kingdom

Tried a bunch of businesses which didn't work.
Giverr
↳ This was supposed to be a social commerce business. Raised money from investors. Failed because I wasn't techy enough.
Bandzie
↳ I wanted this to be a way for artists to monetise their fans. Raised money from investors. Failed because wasn't really solving a problem.
Doodlar
↳ I wanted to create an easy way for non profits to raise money. Failed because I didn't know how to sell properly.

Bar pass limited

Business Development

Feb 2014 – Apr 2014 · 2 mos

When I was 19, I knew nothing about start-ups.
I joined Bar Pass as an an attempt to learn more about how startups work from an employee perspective. It was a mobile ordering app, and the experience was great.
Worked closely with the small team and did everything from marketing to competitive analysis and was part of the team getting on to the Microsoft Ventures Accelerator.
The biggest lesson it left me with: success depends on a great team, and especially on having great founders.
Ultimately I left because I raised investment for a startup.

Feb 2012 – Jan 2013 · 11 mos

This was my first company that got acquired. I was only 17.
Acquired by Horizon Media. An online business publication introducing me to the world of advertising and how to drive traffic.
Interviewed people like Richard Branson, Alan Sugar and James Caan on the content side and struck large ad deals with programmatic ad networks to monetise.
Pretty much did everything from writing to sales to marketing.
Sold company after 11 months in a small 6 figure deal.
This experience taught me that you could just create your own reality. I was hooked.
A crash course to the wonderful world of advertising and social media.

Alpha tutoring

Founder

Aug 2009 – Oct 2009 · 2 mos

Started this to win a bet at 14. Grew the company to 65 tutors in 6 weeks with a clientele in all corners of London.
Ultimately it failed because tutors and clientele started booking appointments without my intermediating.
After this, I was hooked on entrepreneurship.
