Episode Synopsis

On this episode, we welcomed Ablorde Ashigbi, founder and CEO of 4Degrees, a platform that aims to equalize opportunity by using technology to improve relationship management. Ablorde is passionate about economic development, a former college athlete, and got the idea for 4Degrees while working in venture capital, after starting his career in consulting at Bain and Company. We discuss Ablorde’s path from entering college as a prospective lawyer to founding a tech startup, his regret-minimization framework for taking risks, one of his favorite quotes (“To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift”), and how Ablorde’s early passions for social justice and economic development have become his north star.
