If you’re the chosen one, pain will always choose you.

Dreams don’t die from failure. They die from neglect. Tend to yours today.

The greatest battle of all is with yourself—your weaknesses, your emotions, your lack of resolution in seeing things through to the end. You must declare unceasing war on yourself.

Last week, the Executive VC Fellowship was hosted by Gbite Oduneye, Managing Partner at ODBA, for an intense session on “The VC Investment Thesis”. It’s an important and surprisingly challenging thought exercise for any venture capitalist. Gbite cut through the jargon to show

The weight of inaction is heavier than any risk. Move before it crushes you.

Join our GP Gbite Oduneye at GITEX EUROPE in Berlin. ODBA backs founders who build against the odds. From Africa to the world, we’re bridging the gap between bold innovation and slow capital. We will be in Berlin from May 21–22. Let’s connect. #GITEXEurope #ODBA #VC

Our GP Gbite Oduneye joined GITEX EUROPE in Berlin. The signal was clear: founders aren’t pitching features — they’re building infrastructure. From AI to FinTech, the shift isn’t hype. It’s structural. Europe. Africa. Forward. #GITEX #AI #VentureCapital #improbablestories

The greatest impediment to creativity is your impatience, the almost inevitable desire to hurry up the process, express something, and make a splash.

At ODBA we believe partnerships must evolve with the ecosystems they serve. At AfricArena Berlin, our GP Gbite Oduneye joined a timely discussion on shifting Africa–Europe innovation ties. The message was clear: Africa doesn’t need validation, it needs alignment. #africa #tech

The thing that makes your actions extraordinary isn’t the nature of the action itself, but your commitment to it.

Finance isn’t just adding AI, it’s being rebuilt by it. At London Venture Capital Network Summit, our GP Gbite Oduneye joined panel to unpack the shift in Fintech & Insurtech: → Risk is real-time → Defensibility now learns → Trust is the constraint This isn’t iteration. It’s reinvention #ai

An OG once told me, "They don’t respect you at the bottom, they ignore you in the middle, and they hate you at the top. You’ll never have everyone’s approval. So it’s best to just focus on what you’re doing." Dear son, live life in your own terms.

Desires turn kings into slaves, but patience turns slaves into kings. Happy weekend.

You win in life by being ok with people: - not liking you - disagreeing with you - not inviting you - wishing you'd fail - thinking you're wrong

Success is painful:

No matter how many decisions you’ve made, it’s never too late to ignore everyone else’s opinion and do what you want.
