Ambition, Startups & Giving Back: Navigating the University Experience & Building for the Future
In this episode, I sit down with Zacharias Onyejiaka, a direct-entry second-year mathematics student at the University of Edinburgh and an ambitious student entrepreneur with a drive for innovation. We discuss his journey of balancing academics with running a startup and finding a community in Edinburgh. He co-founded SpoVis, an AI-driven tennis analytics platform that gained traction on multiple platforms, and Edinburgh Venture Point, a community designed to connect and support student founders.
Zacharias shares insights on taking risks, seizing opportunities, maintaing drive and creating a culture of entrepreneurship within universities. We also dive into the unique perspective that comes with being a first-generation immigrant, the sense of responsibility to give back, and how that has shaped his ambitions.
From working at startups to building his own, Zacharias’s story is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and the power of putting yourself out there. Whether you’re an aspiring founder, a student looking to make the most of your university experience, or simply curious about what it is like to build something, this conversation is full of valuable lessons and inspiration.
