Technology entrepreneurship

Aboyeji's public profile is closely connected to two African technology companies. Andela's official history lists him among the founders involved when the company began in May 2014. A 2019 Flutterwave company post says Flutterwave was founded in 2016 by Aboyeji and Olugbenga Agboola, and Aboyeji later stepped down as chief executive on October 15, 2018. A separate 2021 Flutterwave announcement attributes the company's founding to Agboola alone, leaving the company's founder terminology unresolved in the available materials.

Investment through Future Africa

Aboyeji subsequently became associated with Future Africa's investment activities. TechCrunch reported that the Future Africa Fund was made official in January 2020 with Aboyeji as general partner. Future Africa's team page later listed him as a Partner in Nigeria, while other Future Africa and Learn Africa materials have used the descriptions co-founder and general partner; the sources do not establish whether these differences reflect a title change or varying organizational usage.

Learn Africa's 2023 annual report states that Aboyeji holds a bachelor's degree in Legal Studies from the University of Waterloo in Canada and was appointed a non-executive director of Learn Africa Plc on August 13, 2020.
