Temitayo Jaiyeola is a senior reporter at TechCabal and leads the Money desk, a reporting vertical dedicated to uncovering the economics behind Africa’s technology ecosystem.

His work explores how startups, fintechs, banks, and technology companies make, spend, raise, and sometimes lose money. He is drawn to stories that reveal what numbers, balance sheets, and market data can tell us about the people and businesses shaping Africa’s digital economy.

Temitayo is a data enthusiast who spends an unhealthy amount of time on spreadsheets and financial reports and firmly believes he should have studied economics (there is still a chance this will happen).

Outside the newsroom, he writes prose and poetry, folds into books, loves loves documentaries and biopics, and takes long walks to escape.
