Kofi Frimpong is a Princeton University graduate and current CEO of Brandslip.com. His company is based in Los Angeles, CA and he has a background in business and marketing. Kofi has BS in Biology with the original plan to go into medicine when he fell in love with the experimentation of ideas in tech entrepreneurship. Kofi has always had an interest in technology and entrepreneurship. He has been involved in numerous ventures and is currently running an influencer based marketing platform that utilizes social media celebrities.
The first venture Kofi launched after graduating from Princeton University was GZpoints.com. GZpoints was a platform that rewarded students with discounts to local businesses based on their grades in school. Kofi raised over 100k dollars from winning business pitch competitions. However, Kofi and his business partners had different visions of where the company should go and he decided to leave to work for a mobile taxi app called Hailo.
After gaining more experience, Kofi was back on the entrepreneurial path with a social enterprise called Mealtics. Mealtics was a crowdfunding platform to raise funds to purchase meals from local restaurants that were donated to soup kitchens and homeless shelters. Kofi saw much success with Mealtics but soon learned the issues in running a social venture and generating revenue to sustain it.
This then led to Kofi’s current venture Brandslip. Kofi took advantage of the importance of social media to reach the millennial generation and created a platform to promote brands using social media celebrities. Brandslip aims to be the premier agency for brands to market to millennials.
Kofi shares his dad’s passion to wake up sleeping innovators in the Ghana and in Africa as a whole and will provide a helping hand to anyone in the focus population that his dad is seeking to coach.
