How Gen Z Will Build the Next Billion-Dollar Companies

Dayo Ayoade has quietly shaped the products, platforms, and cultural movements that define a generation. From leading WeChat’s West African expansion to producing 60,000+ capacity concerts for Burna Boy, Asake, and Rema, Dayo has lived at the intersection of tech, entertainment, and behavioral insight.

In this powerful episode of The Afropolitan Podcast, Dayo reveals what most people get wrong about African markets and what Gen Z is getting right.

 In this episode, we explore:

 • Why WeChat failed in Nigeria and what it teaches us about product market fit

 • How "gist" became the most powerful form of currency in Nigerian culture

 • The rise of Detty December and his role in co-creating it with Mr. Eazi

 • The unseen science behind virality, consumer behavior, and Gen Z's intuition

 • Why legacy isn’t built in public but in patterns only a few can see

Dayo is more than a builder. He’s a cultural alchemist who understands what moves people and why.

Whether you're a founder, product thinker, or creative shaping tomorrow's Africa, this episode is for you.
