Episode Overview
Entrepreneurship comes in many different forms and from many different places – something which Isaac Olowolafe, Founder of Dream Maker Inc. is well aware of.
A well-known entrepreneur, business owner, and philanthropist. Isaac Olowolafe launched Dream Maker Ventures in 2016, a private equity firm launched to provide mentorship and capital to small and medium-sized businesses in all industries, successfully operating in multiple divisions including a brokerage, real estate development, wealth management, property management, education, private equity, and insurance.
“I would make sure entrepreneurship is as diverse and inclusive as possible from a funding point of view. The more diversity you get, the more opinions you’re able to get.”
