Lotanna Ezeike is a 23-year-old entrepreneur from London, UK. He is the founder of XPO – the #1 ranked app for Influencers.

Influencers are a key part of brand campaigns these days. The Influencers endorse a brand/product and the influencer’s audience starts trickling towards the brand. While the brand profits immensely and instantly by working with an influencer, the influencer has to wait up to 120 days to get their invoices paid and reap the fruit of their labour.

Lotanna Ezeike used to showcase his life as a national 200m sprinter on Instagram. His active presence on social media helped him identify this problem.

He set to work on a solution, at first Lotanna was working on XPO by himself, then down the road, he met his co-founders Franck Ndame and Tomi Aiyeola, and his soon to be Senior Software Engineer Ahmad Karkouti.

Together this dynamic team has built a #1 ranking marketplace that connects influencers and brands.

XPO helps influencers by paying them as soon as they have delivered the content needed by the brand. XPO charges 10% of the total invoice amount and processes the Influencer’s payment within 24 hours. The brand then pays the total invoice to XPO in 30-120 days. The simple yet effective nature of this process is easy on both the influencers and the brands.

Lotanna’s sights for the future are set on partnering directly with brands. When asked about this plan, he says “Online shops offer Klarna as a payment option to their customers. We want big brands like Boohoo and Nike to offer XPO as an alternative payout option to the creators and agencies they work with.”.

Lotanna Ezeike and the team at XPO have shown time and time again that through minimalist plans, maximum success can be achieved.
