Abdoul NASSIF
Co-Founder
Abdoul Nassif was born in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and grew up in Bujumbura, Burundi. He completed his secondary education at Centre Scolaire Congolais de Bujumbura, where he graduated with a concentration in Literature and Arts.
In 2014, Abdoul pursued higher education at the International University of East Africa in Kampala, Uganda. He graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology (IT). During his final year, he and his university colleagues developed a Biometric Attendance System (BLAS), an innovative project that demonstrated his strong technical and collaborative skills.
In 2019, Abdoul was awarded a scholarship to continue his postgraduate studies in China. However, due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, he was unable to travel and had to postpone his studies. Despite this setback, he remained resilient and focused on his professional growth.
In 2021, Abdoul secured his first permanent job contract and soon became one of the youngest individuals to hold the position of Administrative Director of Human Resources in his town — a testament to his leadership, dedication, and professionalism.
While spending much of his free time exploring technology and learning online, Abdoul continued to seek new opportunities for personal and professional development. His determination and perseverance led him to obtain a visa to the United States, marking a new chapter in his journey toward greater achievements and global experiences.
Mauwa ISSA

Guided by ambition and a strong sense of family, she later joined her husband in the United States, where together they established Venus Entreprises, now a growing name in media, business, and professional services.
