Profil Financier
Tope Awotona occupe actuellement le rang #2864 du classement mondial StarFortune (secteur technologie). Fortune nette estimée : $1.4 B ($0 sur 24h).
Tope Awotona is the founder and CEO of scheduling software company Calendly.
Awotona, a former salesman for tech firms including EMC (now Dell EMC), founded Calendly out of his own frustration with the back-and-forth emails required to schedule meetings.
He bootstrapped Calendly for years before taking on a $350 million investment in 2021 that valued the firm at $3 billion.
Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Awotona immigrated to the United States as a teenager.
Before founding Calendly, he had started a few other businesses, including one that sold projectors and another that sold garden tools, that flopped.
To build its first product, Awotona hired a Ukrainian firm for programming help and was in Kyiv during anti-government protests in 2014.
