When you live in a city, you know how hard it is to find furniture that fits the way you live today. You move on average once every 1-2 years due to uncertainty about your current situation, such as your jobs, neighborhoods, and roommates. If you own furniture, you might find yourself going through the buying, selling, and storing of furniture, making moving a nightmare. So you end up resorting to cheaper alternatives that aren’t built for multiple moves, assembling, and disassembling. As a result, 12.2 million tons of furniture end up in landfills annually. Dapo Kolawale believes that the only way to end this cycle of waste is to create a new one.


Dapo is the Founder and CEO of Roomii, which is a platform that allows you to rent furniture from your neighbor. It's vision is to create a sustainable and accessible world where furniture can be shared and enjoyed by all. Dapo believes that by providing a peer-to-peer furniture rental platform, Roomii can empower individuals to make more environmentally conscious choices, reduce waste, and save money.
