Oba Ajayi

I like to create: content, technology and investing. I make career and travel videos for an audience of 175K+, build my own tools with Claude Code and Codex, and still write the occasional angel check.

Content

• 175K+ followers across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn
• 21M views in a peak month, with multiple posts over 1M views
• Career content: Instagram @obatried · TikTok @obatried
• Travel content: TikTok @oba.travels · Instagram @oba.travels
• The Warm Intro, a newsletter I grew to 15K subscribers
• 25+ paid brand deals, plus a paid commercial for Berry Nuts

Things I've built

• The Deferred MBA: coaching and GRE prep for deferred MBA applicants. I built the whole site with AI tools in 22 days, with no prior coding experience.
• Open source: 29 Claude Code tools, including a multi-account Google MCP server.
• HeadStart Fellowship: a mentorship program I founded for first-gen and low-income college students. 320 fellows so far.

Background
