About Kojoh Atta

TLDR: I love bringing people, ideas, and capital together to create new possibilities. Tell me more about what you’re building :) Stubbornly ambitious and ambitiously stubborn. I am an industrious professional passionate about the intersection between technology, finance, and society. I am dedicated to uplifting others through empowering entrepreneurial endeavors. As a first-generation college student and Ghanaian-American immigrant, I believe there’s nothing you can’t do without grit and optimism. My personal passions include B2B Saas, fintech/blockchain, sustainability, social entrepreneurship, and the economic development of overlooked communities across the globe (especially Africa).
