Bolupe Founder and CEO of 13 Weeks Travel

Meet Bolupe

I’m Bolupe — a serial entrepreneur, educator, and experience creator who has spent the last 24 years building businesses, learning through every season, and turning ideas into income, impact, and unforgettable experiences.

My journey did not start in boardrooms or with perfect plans. It started at university, studying Architecture, learning how to design structure, space and form. But even then, I had an eye for business. At just 20 years old, I launched my first venture, selling handpicked second hand clothes and designer bags to fellow students. It was not formal business training, but it was real world experience in branding, marketing and understanding what people want.

After university, I moved into my next chapter: a drinks supply business in Nigeria, catering to weddings and events. That experience introduced me to the world of celebrations, logistics and high pressure execution, which later became the foundation of my passion for destination events.

When I moved to the UK, I built my first UK brand, Faboluous London, a fashion business ahead of its time in 2015, designing and selling authentic African print clothing. It was bold, creative and deeply rooted in culture and identity long before it became mainstream.

Alongside my entrepreneurial journey, I also committed to education. I retrained as a teacher and went on to earn a Master’s degree in Education. That blend of creativity and structure, business and academia, has shaped how I think, lead and build today.

Over the years, my path has expanded into multiple industries, but one thing has remained constant. I build things from scratch and turn them into meaningful, profitable and purpose driven brands. From fashion to events, from education to travel, I have spent nearly a quarter of a century learning, evolving and scaling.

Today, I bring all of that experience together across my businesses, combining creativity, strategy, education and execution to build brands that do not just exist, but make an impact.

This is more than a career for me. It is a lifetime of building, learning and creating, and I am just getting started.
