Olugbenga Ogunbowale

Olugbenga Ogunbowale is a Nigerian AI product leader, grant-funding expert, speaker, and social-impact entrepreneur focused on helping founders access funding. His work is guided by the belief that promising ideas should not fail because their creators lack financial support. He has facilitated more than $30 million in grants and trained over 1,500 founders in funding literacy.

Ogunbowale co-founded Grant Master, which helps entrepreneurs build their grant-readiness and funding capabilities through initiatives including Grant Success School. The school has trained more than 1,100 founders across eight cohorts, and the organisation reports that 70% of its grant winners secured their first grant through its system. Grant Wizard, an AI product developed to support this mission, is designed to make grant-related work faster and less expensive.

Before Grant Master, Ogunbowale helped empower more than 25,000 orphans across 19 African countries through The Orphan Empowerment Society and trained over 7,000 business owners for Meta and Google through Epower M.
