Lumuli Wanyonyi, Multivariable Systems Tech, Idaho

Born and raised on a small farm in Kenya, Lumuli Wanyonyi moved to the United States to work as an electrical engineer. In 2019, he decided to pursue his dream of starting his own electrical systems design and installation company in Meridian, Idaho. He sought financing from multiple banks. He was rejected by them all. Lumuli had no prior business experience, so he was considered too risky by bankers. It wasn't until one banker handed Lumuli a MoFi brochure and he made the call that he was able to put his idea into practice. Now, he is the one eliminating risk for his clients across all 50 states, including the Department of Defense and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
