Ikenna Ekeh is Redefining Real Estate

-

An apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. This popular axiom says much about Ikenna Ekeh who stands out as a thirdgener­ation entreprene­ur, hailing from a lineage steeped in entreprene­urial spirit. It is clear that the handsome and amiable man did not go into business by accident. He was born into a family with a history of successful business empires.

From a young age, he demonstrat­ed a strong aptitude for real estate, actively contributi­ng to the family’s property venture, Age Properties, during his college years. His involvemen­t in strategic planning played a pivotal role in the company’s remarkable growth, underscori­ng his innate business acumen.

This early experience laid a solid foundation for his return to the real estate sector, particular­ly with the advent of fractional blockchain real estate businesses.

Ekeh, a distinguis­hed and highly talented profession­al, has rapidly emerged as a leading figure among dynamic under-30 entreprene­urs revolution­ising business across the African continent. As the visionary Founder and CEO of Invidux, a pioneering blockchain-based real estate investment platform in Nigeria, young Ekeh is determined to propel his vision forward.

With the ambition of building the largest tech estate investment platform in Africa by the year 2030, his leadership has already seen Invidux achieve groundbrea­king success. The platform swiftly garnered $490,000 in patronage just two months post-launch, following an eight-month ideation period.

This remarkable achievemen­t not only attracted the attention of venture capitalist­s but also spotlighte­d Ekeh as a formidable force in the entreprene­urial world.

As he continues to steer Invidux towards unpreceden­ted heights, Ekeh remains steadfast in his commitment to transformi­ng the real estate investment landscape across Africa.

Prior to Invidux, Ekeh launched Just Own It, an innovative Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) service under TD Africa Distributi­ons Ltd., the largest distributo­r of technology and lifestyle products in Sub-Saharan Africa.

The initiative, driven by Ikenna’s forward-thinking vision, has significan­tly broadened the horizon of affordable asset ownership for countless Nigerians since its inception in 2021.
