Segun Maku is a dynamic serial entrepreneur with extensive business interests spanning sports, entertainment, hospitality, construction, and real estate development.
As a former world top-100 squash player and two-time North American teaching pro champion, Segun holds the distinction of being the only Nigerian to achieve such a feat. After a stellar 15-year career in professional sports, predominantly in the United States, he transitioned into the business world, successfully leading various ventures and investments.
Notably, Segun played a pivotal, yet uncelebrated, role in the early days of the ConnectU/Facebook story, mentoring Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss and contributing to their journey, which ultimately shaped the modern digital and cryptocurrency landscape.
Today, Segun is focused on his next major venture—pioneering 3D house printing technology as part of Nigeria’s drive toward smart cities. He is collaborating with the Nigerian government to integrate this cutting-edge innovation, aimed at revolutionizing housing, urban development, and sustainability across the country. With this groundbreaking project, Segun continues to push the boundaries of innovation, making a lasting impact on the future of technology and development in Nigeria.
