Interview with Wunmi Akinsola, Founder of Fasttracker Fashion
One of the opportunities I get at www.AfricaNXT.com is the opportunity to meet people from different fields.
On Monday I meet Wunmi Akinsola. I joined the session she was on as a panelist with other panelists.
She started WWW.FASTTRACKER.COM a fashion e-commerce site.
Prior to this, she was project manager for the 2018 Bridal Fashion Week in Lagos.
On September 20, 2021, Akinsola’s fashion-tech startup, Fashtracker, won TechCabal’s Future of Commerce pitch contest.
Her journey into entrepreneurship started with working with her sisters in 2008 when her siblings co-founded a fashion brand called Virgos Lounge, a London-based womenswear brand.
She worked with them as brand coordinator where she was involved in almost all levels of the business’s value chain, especially the fulfilment part. In 2014, she monitored transactions worth over £1,000,000.
In 2015, she graduated from the University of Kent, England, where she studied fashion and textile. She turned her final year project into her own company, called Pearls and Portrait, a B2B fashion outlet that designs and outsources production to manufacturers in China and India, then sells the ready-made clothes to businesses across the world.
After two years and a lot of financial and strategic mistakes, she decided to pursue a master’s degree in entrepreneurship and innovation. It was here that she got a better grip on how to run a business, especially a tech-enabled enterprise.
She came back to Nigeria
She also worked with Jumia to lead its Women’s Fashion Category.
She left Jumia and started Fashtracker in February 2020 to provide a pan-African marketplace for the continent’s fashion.
