Building the bridge between African talent and global capital

Adewale Yusuf has spent more than a decade building companies, backing founders, and creating pathways that connect African talent, ideas, and capital across borders.

Portrait of Adewale Yusuf

Adewale Yusuf is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and speaker whose work is grounded in a simple conviction: African talent can build at global scale when opportunity and capital are easier to reach.

He founded Techpoint Africa and co-founded AltSchool Africa and TalentQL. Across media, technology education, talent infrastructure, and early-stage investing, his work has helped more African builders become visible and prepared for global opportunity.

As co-convener of Beyond Africa with Stanley Agu, Adewale is helping bring founders, engineers, investors, and operators into one room in Austin. This spotlight recognises the patient ecosystem work behind those rooms and the relationships that continue long after an event ends.
