David Sokefun

David Sokefun is a Nigerian venture builder, investor, and technology entrepreneur, serving as Co-Founder and CEO of Codar Africa and Kwe4 Africa. With over a decade of hands-on experience in startups and venture creation across the continent, David operates at the intersection of talent development, capital formation, and company building.

Through Codar Africa, he has focused on equipping African talent with practical, industry-relevant technology skills while building pathways into real economic opportunity. His work goes beyond training; it is structured around producing execution-ready builders who can create, scale, and sustain technology-driven businesses.

At Kwe4 Africa, David is building a venture studio and ecosystem platform designed to coordinate talent, capital, infrastructure, and venture creation into a single execution engine. Rather than waiting for startups to emerge organically, Kwe4 is structured to systematically design, launch, and scale high-potential ventures across priority sectors, addressing structural gaps in Africa’s startup ecosystem.

David’s entrepreneurial journey spans more than ten years of building, investing in, and advising startups. That experience has exposed the operational weaknesses that repeatedly slow African innovation: fragmented capital, weak execution discipline, poor venture design, and insufficient founder support. His current work is a direct response to those inefficiencies.

His approach is pragmatic and systems-driven. He prioritizes execution speed, capital efficiency, and repeatable venture models over hype. By combining venture studio mechanics, ecosystem coordination, and long-term infrastructure thinking, David is working to increase the number, quality, and survivability of African startups.

At its core, his mission is straightforward: build the structures that make African innovation scalable, investable, and globally competitive — not through isolated wins, but through engineered systems that compound over time.
