Young Entrepreneurs Empowering Nigerian Graduates
With a focus on Nigeria's overcrowded labour market, six young Nigerians – Odunayo Eweniyi, Somto Ifezue, Terry Kanu, Nonso Chinagorom, Ibukun Akinola and Joshua Chibueze – founded Sharphire, a company building products that actually make life easier for other young Nigerians.
Launched in 2014, with their flagship product PushCV – a recruitment platform with the largest database of pre-screened job candidates in Africa – Sharphire has since built two other highly successful products, PiggyBank and FrontDESK.

Speaking with Konbini about what inspired them to start Sharphire, Odunayo Eweniyi said:
"We started Sharphire because we felt that more could be done to empower the thousands of graduates that are added to the labour market every year.So while we had [PushCV] for white collar jobs, we also created [FrontDesk] to allow people create their own way. And of course, [PiggyBank] to teach financial discipline."
PushCV
PushCV provides verified employers access to three times more qualified candidates – who have actually been screened and tested. Thousands of HR managers & employers contact candidates via PushCV on a daily basis.

PiggyBank
While some banks are just glorified pillowcases for your money, Piggybank actually helps you save. It lets you automatically save little amounts of money daily, weekly or monthly depending on what your goals are.
The best part? No deposit fees, no withdrawal fees, no monthly fees, bank-level security, and up to 4% annual interest.
