Oladosu Teyibo is a Nigerian entrepreneur who co-founded Analog Team, a software company working to transform the tech industry. According to Business Insider, the tech company, founded in 2018, is on track to hit seven digits.
He co-founded the company with Myesha Luster and Yao Adantor to, among other things, connect diverse talents with tech companies looking to create digital products in the United States.
Outside of the United States, Teyibo also focuses on connecting African engineers with startups based in the United States. For many years India has been the leading outsourcing destination for IT companies.
Teyibo’s goal is to make Africa compete with India as the preferred destination for IT companies that outsource certain operations. In this regard, he is betting on the idea that American companies will start looking for talent from the “motherland”.
“There is no pipeline problem or lack of knowledge,” he told Insider. “It’s just about providing opportunities and looking for the gems that are in the rough. “
The Insider reports that Analog Team now operates in six African countries, including Kenya, Ghana, South Africa and Nigeria. The company has also worked with major carriers in telecommunications, social media and gaming applications and is expected to reach seven figures by the end of the year.
His next project is to outsource talent to build a new social media app, user experience database, and data transformation tool.
According to Insider, Teyibo has partnered with the town of Montgomery, Alabama to create a training center to create more talent. “We are also in conversation with the HBCUs [Historically Black Colleges and Universities] and local universities to create robotics programs focused on drone technology, ”Teyibo said.
Prior to forming Analog Team, Teyibo studied Information Systems Technology at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). He then worked at the Cyber Innovation Center where he oversaw mergers and acquisitions.
In 2016 he left to co-found Analog Team and hasn’t looked back since. According to him, Analog Team was born from the bad experiences of companies working with outsourcing companies. He said that Analog has come to offer something different. “We fit in and are part of the business,” Teyibo said. “We come so close that you feel like part of your team. “
For aspiring entrepreneurs, Teyibo’s advice is to build a business that can last, adding that the right way to do it is to constantly innovate.
