Kola Akintola, Angel Investor

Kola Akintola is an angel investor and entrepreneur searching for a business to own, operate, and grow in the Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. He targets fragmented, essential service businesses in defensible niches that are fundamentally sound but operationally under-optimized. He looks for companies with $300,000 to $3 million in EBITDA that have operated successfully for at least five years. Sectors of interest include landscaping, home services, electrical and installation services, auto-related services, fulfillment centers, light manufacturing, self-storage, laundromats, construction management, parking lots, and plumbing. He is not interested in cannabis, restaurants, retail, or pet boarding. His approach centers on long-term ownership, operational excellence, and preserving company culture while introducing modern technology and professionalized processes. His goal is to build a small holding company of well-run, essential service businesses. Kola is a PMP-certified project manager who has managed multi-million dollar projects for companies including Mercedes and Volkswagen. He has founded two businesses and advised entrepreneurs across Africa through the AWEC program.
