Hello, I’m Keyona.
My entire career in venture capital and founder development has centered on helping businesses scale intelligently. I specialize in curriculum development, practical AI training, and startup advisory services, working with organizations from Silicon Valley to West Africa. I take a problem-first, tool-second approach, working directly with accelerators, startups, and business teams to find the right solutions—whether that’s designing founder education programs, integrating AI into existing workflows, or building more efficient operations.
I started ReRev to dismantle the "ivory tower" of innovation. After years in VC, I saw too many brilliant founders—especially those in overlooked markets—struggle with opaque processes and gatekept resources. ReRev flips the script, offering tactical frameworks for operational excellence, automation, and investor readiness that level the playing field. When you work with me, you’re getting straight-to-the-point expertise in making transformative technology accessible and actionable.
Today, I’m channeling my trifecta of experiences—Silicon Valley’s scalability, West Africa’s resourcefulness, and global startup ecosystems—to redefine what innovation looks like. My work sits at the intersection of venture capital rigor, founder-first mentorship, and cross-continental problem-solving. Whether it’s helping U.S. accelerators adopt frugal innovation tactics from West Africa, translating AI advancements into actionable tools for SMEs, or advising investors on untapped opportunities in emerging markets, I’m focused on one thing: turning global insights into local impact.
