Helping Founders Build MVP with Less.
Helping 30+ Dreamers Get Unstuck.
I'm Jelilat Ifedolapo Lawal, a venture-backed founder, MBA and product strategist. After 10 years in startups, I help early-stage founders build MVPs with less and host a podcast helping 30+ dreamers reinvent themselves with purpose.
ABOUT ME
Over the past 10 years, I’ve co-founded multiple startups, raised funding, and led product teams across fintech, e-commerce, and credit infrastructure. I’ve also had 3 of my ventures fail — and I’ve worn each of those failures as a badge of growth, not shame.After my last startup shut down, I relocated to the U.S. for my MBA, not to give up, but to get better, this time, not just a company, but my clarity, confidence, and calling. Today, I’m building Hatx, a platform that helps people showcase and monetise their multiple skills. And I’m hosting “30 & Unstuck”, a podcast for anyone over 30 who feels like they’re running out of time to reinvent themselves.Through all of it, I’ve learned that building something new — a product, a career, a life — doesn’t have to be overwhelming, expensive, or perfect. It just has to be real.If you’re a founder trying to launch your MVP without draining your savings, or a 30+ dreamer ready to stop feeling stuck, you’re in the right place.Let’s build the next version of your story — with less pressure, more clarity, and a lot of heart.
