Tobi Popoola, Founder of Liveldy

“The semester long training at Venture College covered: understanding problems, developing products and services to solve these problems, and having these products and services generate revenue. The experience with mentors in the Venture College has been invaluable. I would recommend Venture College to anyone looking to venture into entrepreneurship.
