While at university, Chinazom Arinze launched AutoGirl, a platform that connects people looking to rent out their vehicles with people who want to hire them.

Money is often tight for university students, but for Chinazom Arinze, a limited income was an opportunity that sparked a business venture. While studying law at Babcock University, in Nigeria, and working part-time at a car dealership, she set up a side hustle, informally launching AutoGirl in 2019. Initially also a car dealership, it evolved into a platform that connects people looking to rent out their vehicles with people who want to hire them.

I was the secretary, I was the social media manager, I was everything … I was working around the clock,” says Arinze, now aged 26. “The only time I wasn’t working was when I was sleeping and even then, if a customer had an issue at night, I was the only person, so I’d be the one they would call and I’d have to resolve it. “I had to start bringing people on. I brought a social media manager, an admin manager, finance people and an operations team that works 24/7.
