Hey There!

My name is Adeseye, feel free to call me Ade for short :)

I am the Co-Founder and CEO of Young & Giving. Young & Giving is a early stage tech start-up that utilises artificial intelligence to connect millennials with mentors. We have just raised a modest pre-seed round of investment from some of europe's most reputable tech investors.

We are on a mission to connect 2 million millennials with mentors by 2020!

I was raised in a single parent Low-Income household in Finsbury park north London. Up until the age of 16 I heavily in a north London based gang. My gang activity resulted in me being stabbed and almost losing my life. Thankfully, I had a complete mindset shift at the age of 16 and went on to achieve a first class in Economics from the university of Leicester and a Distinction from Durham university.

I am now on a mission to change the world one mentor at a time!

I am a People of Colour in Tech(Poctech) ambassador for Google for Entrepreneur's in London. I work alongside a phenomenal team of ambassador's educational startup events centred around encouraging diversity and inclusion within the London tech ecosystem.
