Entrepreneur Coming from Nigeria Highlights the Power of Passion and Commitment

Business, Tech, Travel & Leisure 0:23:44

Adeyinka Adedoja is the founder of WeivSync, based in Toronto, Canada. Her passion to create WeivSync is rooted in her passion for travel and the challenges she faced as an immigrant navigating a new country. Although she started with a background in finance and economics, working in roles at the Toronto Stock Exchange and as a business analyst in a SaaS company, it was only when she moved into product management that she truly felt energized. This role aligned perfectly with her love for problem-solving and innovation, setting the stage for the creation of WeivSync.

Her personal travel experiences, filled with language barriers, missed connections, and serendipitous moments, inspired WeivSync. She wanted to create something that makes solo travel smoother, safer, and more connected. WeivSync is like having a knowledgeable friend who’s always there to help, offering personalized itineraries, real-time translation, and 24/7 assistance.

Traveling has given her countless stories, like getting lost in a foreign city and finding a hidden gem or a miscommunication turning into an adventure. Her favorite quote, “We’re on offense. All the time,” reminds me to take initiative and create opportunities.

We’re excited to share her journey and the creation of WeivSync on Canada Podcast. Whether you’re a seasoned solo traveler or dreaming of your first big adventure, we hope her stories will inspire you to explore the world with more confidence and curiosity.
