Founded in August 2017, Patricia harnesses the power of cryptocurrency to create alternative solutions to financial infrastructure, digital payments and global E-commerce. Hanu, the founder and CEO says on Linkedin "I am bootstrapping Patricia to a trillion-dollar valuation, ushering the world into a digital age, doing the most with a strong team, building amazing products that would impact lives, and sharing lollipop moments."
In this episode of #FoundersConnect, Hanu shares his story - from growing up in Warri to starting and failing 13 businesses while at Uniport and then moving to Lagos and unintentionally starting Patricia.
