A letter to an investor

Dear Investor,

My name is Ibrahima Sylla, I am the Co-founder & Business Lead of YeleGroup. 

At YeleGroup, our vision is to build the largest and most profitable organization in Africa, changing the lives of over a billion people and inspiring the next generation of African entrepreneurs.

YeleGroup is a catalyst for transformation in Francophone Africa. We have established six dynamic entities to drive our mission forward:

AlphaYele: A tech and creative agency helping Francophone African SMBs achieve their lead, sales, and awareness goals.

YeleMedia: A media platform inspiring the new generation of African changemakers through stories and interviews with leading African personalities.

YeleEducation: An EdTech transforming how students in Francophone Africa learn and grow.

YeleTalent: A talent management platform connecting top Francophone African talents with global companies.

YeleNetwork: A community equipping creative entrepreneurs with the skills, visibility, and network they need to reach their full potential.

YeleVenture: A fund providing Francophone African entrepreneurs with the resources they need to succeed at every stage of their journey.

Our commitment is unwavering: to leverage technology and creativity in building a prosperous future for Africa. We believe that by achieving this, we will not only become one of the top companies globally but also create lasting positive impact in our communities.

At this stage, you’re certainly asking yourself, why should I invest in YeleGroup?

Where I come from, we are taught to be silent and accept our circumstances. I have never accepted this narrative. Throughout my life, I have constantly challenged and overcome expectations.

I was once told I wasn't intelligent enough, yet I became the best student in my class. I was told I couldn't succeed in basketball because it was an American sport, yet I trained hard and won my country's inter-school championship twice.

When I decided to leave my law studies to learn leadership and entrepreneurship in Rwanda, I was told I was crazy. Despite being accepted to the University of Sorbonne in Paris, I chose a different path.

On August 14, 2019, with a one-way ticket to Kigali, I embarked on a journey that included 5 years of learning English, accumulating internships, and launching businesses. This journey culminated in an internship and a full-time offer from Google.

However, this story is not only mine, it’s also the story of my 3 co-founders and the talents who joined us. For us YeleGroup is much more than just an organization. It is a catalyst for transformation, a bridge between our dreams, our passions and the Africa we want for future generations.

Dear investor, we invite you to join us on this exceptional adventure and make history together.

Sincerely,

Ibrahima Sylla, Co-founder & Business Lead
