Meet Israel Kehinde, a 24-year-old adventurous leader who’s turning Africa’s textbook crisis into an opportunity for innovation. As the founder of LockBook Limited, this introspective entrepreneur envisions bringing the “Spotify of books” to students across the continent through the world’s first battery-and-glare free eReading device. When COVID-19 left his fellow Babcock University students scrambling for textbooks, Israel didn’t just see a problem – he saw his calling. Three years later, his startup has attracted over N80 million in grants and caught the attention of major institutions. Whether pitching at Yale’s Africa Startup Review or mentoring under industry titans through the Tony Elumelu Foundation, Israel brings the same passionate drive to make education accessible to all.
