Payroll Panic to Client Catastrophe: S.A.'s Trailblazing Entrepreneur Velani Mboweni #BuildOurAfrica

Serial entrepreneur, Velani Mboweni, is Co-Founder & CEO of LULA, a mobility scaleup providing shared transportation to companies from home to work and beyond - saving money and time. He has quietly raised millions of dollars, 4x growth, served over 250 businesses, reduced over 1000 tons of CO2 and scaled across 5 cities in South Africa. He's a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Fellow at the Harambeans and sits on the board of WESGRO and the CSIR (Smart Mobility). He's a graduate of University of Cape Town (BCom PPE), Wits Business School and Wits University (Hons, Political Science). He's passionate about serving people and solving problems. His entrepreneurial spirit of resilience has seen him survive a pandemic, global recession and unprecedented challenges in the already complex transport industry. Velani’s forever optimism in Africa is perfectly summarised in his 2016 TED Talk, aptly titled, Commodifying The African Experience.
