Lopsii Olagoke started his career not in boardrooms, but in labs. Working alongside professors and postdoctoral researchers, he wrote open-source geophysical modeling software — the kind used by government agencies and oil & gas giants to analyze the planet beneath our feet.

That academic rigor would later define how Olagoke built businesses. He didn’t chase trends; he identified friction in old industries and built systems to remove it.

His first major venture proved the model. Targeting a niche in the home daycare sector, Olagoke launched a B2B SaaS platform that, in just nine months, went from zero to $90 million in processed transactions, onboarding 15 enterprise clients and modernizing a market nobody else was watching.

Now, as CEO of Nezz, Olagoke is applying that same precision to a global problem hiding in plain sight: moving money for luxury sales.

High-value transactions are painfully slow, insecure, and compliance-heavy. Nezz fixes all three — enabling brokers, collectors, and buyers to transfer millions instantly, with automated vetting and escrow-like safety, built on direct banking infrastructure.

Olagoke’s talent is clear: he turns what the industry tolerates into what it deserves — and then scales it until no one remembers the old way.
