Kadie Okwudili

Kadie is the founder of Agapé. Three years ago, while pursuing a career as an aspiring physician-scientist, she had several near-death experiences. After being diagnosed with a life-threatening heart condition, she made the difficult decision to walk away from her dream of becoming a surgeon. Around the same time, with the help of a popular dating app, she met the man she would ultimately end up marrying. Once they started dating, Khadesha went to look in the app store for something to nurture this newfound relationship. She was used to using tech to make her life easier and she figured that there was already an app to nurture the most important aspect of human wellness: love. To her surprise, she couldn’t find what she was looking for. Drawing on her research background and incorporating her desire to better humankind – she came up with the idea for Agapé.
