Titilope Adewusi Co-Founder 9ijakids

To me FI is like a surgical room, with your consent or without it, you get a few organ transplants. They sew you back and set you out and tell you, you have access to this clinic for a lifetime. It is home.

FI is what you need to bring your chance to success from 10% to 70%, and build a strong business, a strong network of fellow founders and extraordinary mentors. You just have to do it.
