Full Bio

Ade Olusola Kunmi is an entrepreneur, creative industry advocate, and founder of Yolre Limited. His entrepreneurial journey began early—right after secondary school—when he launched his first business selling perfumes at just 16 years old.

Over the years, he has explored multiple ventures across industries including food packaging and water production, before formally establishing Rocace Foods Limited in Nigeria after completing his National Youth Service in 2015.

Driven by a deep passion for both business and the arts, Ade founded Yolre as a platform to promote African culture and connect creatives to global opportunities. His unique ability to blend artistic insight with business strategy allows him to curate meaningful cultural experiences and help clients identify artwork that reflects their stories and spaces.

After relocating to the United Kingdom, Yolre was formally registered as a corporation, marking a new phase of international expansion. Ade has since gained recognition as a leader in the arts and culture space by the UK government—an achievement that accelerated his growth and enabled him to establish multiple ventures, including a record label supporting emerging artists.

A lifelong learner, Ade combines practical business experience with skills in design, media production, and digital marketing—leveraging tools like Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Canva to build and promote his ventures.

His philosophy is rooted in action, adaptability, and continuous learning. He believes entrepreneurship is best learned through experimentation, encouraging young founders to start early, embrace failure, and evolve through experience.
