Already profiled by prestigious sites such as Forbes Africa and CP-Africa, it is clear that Tunde Kehinde and Yaw Boateng are succeeding in creating an experience that is completely unique. These friends and Harvard Business School graduates founded their website, Bandeka.com, in 2011 when the Nigerian-Ghanaian team realized that it was time to create a different kind of dating environment for professional African Ivy Leaguers. Together, they are working to create a dating experience that is poised to bring together Africans with similar educational backgrounds and go-getter goals.
However, it is not so clear how the founders of Bandeka define “well-educated” or “smart.” It is the founders’ understanding that their invite-only policy keeps their community discreet and exclusive. In addition, requiring invitations from friends ensures that someone is directly connected with a new member every time.
Bandeka currently has offices in Nigeria, Ghana and the United States. They have also successfully put together mixers in Lagos, London, Boston, Chicago and New York with plans to have mixers in select cosmopolitan cities on the African continent.
