THE IDEA01 / 04

An honest kind of ambition

Start with demand.
Grow with intention.

You don’t need to own everything before you can build something valuable.

At Boho Studio, I learned to validate demand, work with the right makers, and build systems that support growth. SoloToScale brings those lessons together with my experience helping other businesses grow, giving you practical steps for your own next move.

The Boho Studio case study

The start was lean.
The growth became measurable.

I started Boho Studio with ₦25,000 in 2023. Since then, we’ve grown to over ₦500 million in revenue so far. In SoloToScale, I share how I found customers, built a team, and put systems in place to support that growth.

I’m Solomon Akinsanya, a serial entrepreneur.

BEYOND BOHO STUDIOIMPACT ACROSS BRANDS

Different brands.
The same focus on growth.

I’ve helped Taeillo achieve 510% revenue growth and grow its community from 21,000 to 75,000+, supported £594,000 in revenue at Tritek Academy during a six-week engagement, and helped RedCloud increase reach by 2,800%. At CareerBuddy, the community grew from 300+ to 15,000+ members; at 500Chow, website visitors increased by 22,490%. Across these businesses, my work has connected content, customer demand, and community to measurable commercial impact.

Wondering
if it’s for you?
