BYP Network described by many as ‘LinkedIn for black professionals’ helps to
connect ambitious future leaders with each otherBYP Network was founded by the
need to connect Black professionals and students from all over the world for
role model visibility, career opportunities, business support and ultimately to
solve our own problems. As a former Great Britain Athlete and A* student, Kike
oniwinde was afforded many opportunities including a full scholarship to the
University of Florida. She met some incredible people including Black students
and professionals across different backgrounds. It dawned on her that there
wasn’t much representation outside of sports and entertainment yet there is
Black talent everywhere. On top of being one of only few Black people in her
banking internships the 2016 Black Lives Matter protests also convinced Kike
that BYP Network could be a true solution. After 3 years of building BYP, Kike
added Meera Raikundalia as a Co-founder after meeting at the New Entrepreneurs
Foundation. Meera is passionate about amplifying Black Talent, working with
Corporate partners to diversify acquisition pipelines and driving positive
change across all industries.
