In this episode of Founders Connect, Peace Itimi sits with Chikodi Ukaiwe, the Founder and CEO of Salad Africa, to uncover his incredible journey through banking, tech, entrepreneurship, and eventually building one of Africa's most impactful fintech startups. Salad Africa is transforming how small businesses and employees access credit in a continent where banks often say “no.”Chikodi shares his inspiring background, growing up in a university community that shaped his leadership spirit and resilience. He studied Computer Science at Babcock University and began his career in banking before pursuing his master's. But his return to the banking world was met with rejection, sparking a shift that would lead him to disrupt the African tech ecosystem.His wife submitted his CV at Jumia, and in 2012 the Jumia founders took a bold bet on him, appointing him as Head of Growth and Partnerships. That role became a defining moment in his career, setting the stage for what was next. After two and a half years, Sim Shagaya recruited him to join Konga, where he spent over four years building one of Nigeria's leading e-commerce brands.Chikodi later ventured into consulting, worked with the Nigerian government for over two years, and during the COVID-19 pandemic founded a nonprofit initiative called Show Love to support small businesses. Though that venture failed, it inspired him to launch Salad Africa, a platform providing salary advances and credit access to SMEs and employees.Starting Salad Africa was no easy feat. Chikodi talks about the many rejections he faced when fundraising and how Techstars became a turning point for him and his company. Through that five-month accelerator, Salad Africa secured its first major funding and laid the foundation for growth. Today, Salad has achieved incredible milestones, from raising capital to partnering with companies like Glovo.In this conversation, Chikodi opens up about the toughest challenges of entrepreneurship, including being sued for two years in a corporate dispute, navigating multiple failures, and rebuilding from scratch. He also shares the biggest lessons he has learned about resilience, leadership, fundraising, and building a business that solves real problems.If you're an entrepreneur, aspiring founder, or someone interested in the African startup ecosystem, this conversation is packed with raw insights, real stories, and practical advice on navigating rejection, finding the right partners, and building a company that lasts.Timestamps:00:53 - Peace's Intro01:48 - Why Salad?02:57 - Who is Chikodi?10:42 - Chikodi's career journey & business background30:24 - The real process for starting a business34:33 - Journey into Techstars37:33 - Key milestones44:17 - Business challenges46:46 - Crazy stories51:10 - Biggest lessons learnt01:02:02 - Key takeaway from Chikodi's storyFounders Connect is a platform that tells authentic stories of African founders, operators, and professionals.

This week we're busting the “all debt is bad” myth and setting the record straight! If no one has told you this before, I'll happily be the first:    Borrowing money doesn't mean you're behind, it means you're building.   In this new episode, we're kicking shame, blame, and guilt to the curb for a fresh, feel-good way to look at growing your photography business. Here's a sneak peek:   5 head-trash myths about loans that keep photographers stuck (including “I'll wait until I can pay cash” and “Needing a loan means I've failed”)   How to treat a loan like an investment because putting $1 in and getting $3 out isn't debt, it's growth!   The banker who might just change your life (and how to find one who cheers for your business as hard as I do.)   2 simple steps you can take this week to get set up for the kind of growth that feels doable, exciting, and not overwhelming.   You don't have to hustle harder or wait until everything's “perfect” to grow.    If you're ready to invest in yourself and your business (but need a little guidance to get there) this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you've been craving.

DescriptionBen Kelly thought landing his JP Morgan job would give him everything he wanted—until he realized his six-figure salary came at a cost. 6-day workweeks and a lot of wasted moments with his family. Not wanting to sacrifice more time with his loved ones, Ben began planning his exit. Then, he made a crucial discovery: His wealthiest clients built their fortunes not through corporate jobs, but by acquiring small businesses. This revelation sparked his interest in business acquisition. He decided to purchase a small business and run it as a side hustle. Now, his portfolio is generating more than $70,000 a month in passive income!In this interview, Ben sits down with Ryan Atkinson to talk about his business acquisition strategies, ways to get business loans and secure business funding, risk management and how to structure your business to maximize your free time. Whether you're just starting or scaling your investments, this interview will equip you with the strategies you need to get the life you deserve.Takeaways- Ben Kelly transitioned from a corporate job to entrepreneurship.- He realized the importance of time freedom after witnessing a colleague's experience.- His first acquisition was made while still working full-time.- Partnerships can be a key growth strategy for businesses.- Boring businesses are recession-resistant and have recurring revenue.- Identifying momentum in a business can lead to significant growth.- Cold outreach via email can be an effective way to find acquisition opportunities.- Self-evaluation is crucial before pursuing a business acquisition.- Understanding financing options is essential for potential buyers.- The SBA loan process can take 60 to 90 days to close. The first 90 days after acquisition should focus on learning.- Building rapport with the team is crucial post-acquisition.- Evaluate franchises like independent businesses.- Clean financials are essential for any acquisition.- Consider professional services for high margins.- Acquisitions should not rely solely on the seller's management.- Having a general manager in place reduces risk.- Franchises can offer stability but require careful evaluation.- Networking is key to finding reliable operating partners.- Boring businesses can be lucrative opportunities.Tags: Business Buying, Entrepreneurship, Business Loan, Passive Income, Side Hustle, Business FundingResources:Start Your Business Today: https://links.upflip.com/3Y8L1rD Connect with Ben: https://www.instagram.com/benkellyone/?hl=en
