E Leverage: Bridging the gap Between Developers and Business World

[Femi Senjobi]

Do you have a software idea and you're wondering how it is going to become a real business?

Do you think you would develop something better and faster if you had an opportunity to speak with more experienced developers?

E Leverage aims to cover the gap between technology stakeholders and their business counterparts. We will achieve this in three ways:

1. Mentorship: This is a strategy for leverage where we walk the paths of those who have gone ahead. E - Leverage will provide a platform for mentorship where aspirants can be inspired by beginners; beginners will be assisted by intermediates; intermediates will be helped by masters and masters will be inspired by legends. We are not just interested in building companies, we are interested in building them with the aim of maximizing resources.
2. Collaboration: This is another principle of leverage that neither looks ahead or looks behind; it looks around. Many are the resources we can easily leverage on around us. The most important of these resources are people! All stories of technological breakthroughs were achieved by teams - people who found leverage in the people around them. We are not just interested in building companies, we are interested in building relationships.
3. Leadership: As we begin the find success in what we do, we need to preserve and multiply that success. The best way to go about that is invest in people. Knowledge is best preserved when kept in the lives of people. Technology companies have been found out to lack continuity because of leadership lapses. E-Leverage also aims to instill that. We are not just interested in building companies, we are interested in building companies that will outlive us.
