Folarin Inc – Company and Founder Profile

 

Folarin Inc – Company and Founder Profile

Folarin Inc (sometimes called Folarin Incorporated or Folarin Incorporated) is a Canadian-registered technology advisory and product-development firm founded by Folarin Oshibodu (also known as Folarin Osibodu) . It spans many fields – AI/ML consulting, software/robotics development, management strategy, creative media, fintech, and more – and calls itself an “execution-focused technology and product advisory” . Publicly available sources (blogs, LinkedIn, Instagram) show Folarin promotes services under product codes (e.g. STRAT-DSC, MVP-BUILD, DATA-POC) with listed prices (mostly ~$153/hr or fixed packages) . For example, a 4‑week MVP build is offered at $15,000 (about 120 hours) . A LinkedIn update calls for $153.85/hr consulting and projects ~$320,000 total 2026 revenue (split among robotics ride-sharing, academics, consulting) . These reflect his current small-scale vision.

Market Opportunity (2026)

Folarin Inc operates at the intersection of massive global markets. The management consulting market alone was about $423 billion in 2024 and is forecast to exceed $1.1 trillion by 2034 . The artificial intelligence market is on the order of $638 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $3.7 trillion by 2034 . Similarly, the AI consulting segment ($16.4 billion in 2024) is booming toward $257.6 billion by 2033 . The global robotics market was ≈**$45 billion** in 2024 (rising 14%/yr to $111 billion by 2030) . Other relevant fields – fintech ($395 billion by 2026 ), software services, creative media, energy, and finance – are similarly large. In short, even a small share of these fields (even ≪1%) can translate to hundreds of millions in revenue. For perspective, McKinsey & Company did roughly $16 billion revenue in 2023 , and tech giants like Apple and Alphabet each exceed $300–400 billion yearly . Thus a peak-performance Folarin Inc (with unlimited scaling) could plausibly aim for hundreds of millions to low billions in 2026 by tapping global demand in AI, tech consulting, robotics, etc.

Consulting Rates – Current vs. Premium Tier

Folarin’s public price list mostly uses $153 USD/hr or fixed sums . For example, strategy discovery or cyber-audit services are quoted at “US$153/hr” . In contrast, top-tier consulting/innovation advisors routinely command much higher fees. Industry sources note that enterprise-level technology or management projects “often start at $250 per hour and can go much higher” . Indeed, McKinsey-style consultants have been cited at $1,000+ per hour for specialized expertise . Accordingly, a premium Folarin Inc. might charge hundreds of dollars per hour (e.g. $500–$1000/hr) for senior experts.

Service/Offering	Folarin Inc (2026)	Premium Tier (High-End)
Strategy Discovery (STRAT-DSC)	$2,500 fixed / $153/hr	$10,000+ fixed or ~$500–$1,000/hr
Business Analysis (BA-REQ)	$1,500 fixed / $153/hr	$5,000+ or $500–$1,000/hr
MVP Build (Web/Mobile Prototype)	$15,000 (4-week sprint)	$100k+ (enterprise-grade app)
Software/Cloud Ops (ENG-MAINT)	$153/hr or $8k/mo	$300–$600/hr or $15k–$30k/mo
Data/ML POC (DATA-POC)	$25,000 (6 weeks)	$200k+ (enterprise AI POC)
Edge AI / Robotics Integration	From $12,000 (POC)	$50k+ for robust prototype
Fractional CTO (FRACT-CTO)	$4,000/mo (16 hrs)	$10,000–$20,000/mo (experienced CTO)
Workshops & Training (EDU-WKSP)	$1,200/day	$2,000–$3,000/day (senior training)
Cybersecurity Audit (SEC-AUDIT)	$3,500 (small org)	$20,000+ (comprehensive enterprise audit)
Custom Software/App (WEB-APP)	From $8,000	$100k+ (large-scale system)
Talent Sourcing (TECH-HIRE)	20% fee or $153/hr	20–25% for exec search

Project Pricing (Multi-Disciplinary Solutions)

Large projects combining software, AI, robotics, and strategy would be priced far above Folarin’s entry-level packages.  For example, a full-scale digital transformation or robotics integration for an enterprise might run well into the $100K–$1M range. (By comparison, Brightworks notes that an enterprise cloud migration can be $10K–$30K , so multi-faceted projects are typically much larger.)  Enterprise consulting engagements (multi-person, multi-month) at top firms often exceed six figures; for instance, McKinsey’s multi-client projects are frequently billed at hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars. In short, multi-disciplinary solution bundles offered by a “Folarin Global” at top-tier would likely be quoted in the high five to seven figures per project.

2026 Peak Revenue Projections

Taking a global view and assuming unlimited team scaling, Folarin Inc’s 2026 revenue (peak) could reach the high tens or low hundreds of millions USD. We outline a notional breakdown below. These figures assume global expansion into all described fields and capturing a small slice of each market (0.1–1% scale of major industries):

Division / Service	2026 Revenue (Peak Estimate)
AI/Tech & Management Consulting	$100–500 million
Software & Mobile Product Dev	$50–200 million
Robotics (Hardware/Embedded AI)	$50–300 million
Training, Academic Programs	$10–50 million
Creative/Media, Fintech, Other	$10–50 million
Total (2026)	≈$220–1,100 million

These ranges are speculative “stretch-goals” under maximum scaling.  For context, even 0.5% of the ~$423B consulting market would be ~$2B, and similarly small shares of the ~$638B AI market and ~$45B robotics market are large sums .  Even the conservative plan published by Folarin was only $320K total , so achieving revenues in the hundreds of millions by 2026 would require major growth. But for a premium, globally staffed firm, these high-end figures illustrate ultimate potential.

Benchmarking & Valuation (Ambitious Case)

At peak performance, Folarin Inc.’s valuation could scale into the multi-billion range. For perspective, large consulting/tech firms trade at high multiples: Apple’s market cap is $4.09 trillion on $395B revenue , Alphabet ~$3.9T on $350B , Tesla ~$1.54T on $97B , and Nvidia ~$4.51T on $130B .  Even McKinsey’s ~$16B revenue business, if valued like a tech firm, might be worth $50–100B.  OpenAI – essentially a one-product AI consultancy – was valued at $80B in 2024 despite limited revenue .  By analogy, if Folarin Inc delivered truly revolutionary AI/robotics solutions with “$10B+ in global value” (as claimed in some discussions), investors might price it at tens of billions. For example, if Folarin Inc hit $500M revenue in 2026 and commanded a 20× revenue multiple (below Apple’s 10× but in line with high-growth tech), valuation could approach $10B. Higher growth or strategic impact (e.g. in defense/space akin to SpaceX) could boost that into the tens of billions.

Public Perception and Founder Credibility

Publicly, Folarin Oshibodu is largely self-promotional.  His blogs and social posts emphasize vision, persistence, and recruiting interns , but there’s scant independent coverage.  The claims are ambitious (robot companions with “emotional intelligence” , etc.), but concrete proof of broad impact or clients is limited.  No major press articles or analyst reports on Folarin Inc appear in connected sources. Thus his reputation in the market remains unproven, which would temper near-term valuation.

Summary of High-End Projections

• Hourly Rates: Current Folarin rate is ~$153/hr .  A premium-tier version could charge $500–$1,000+ per hour for top consultants .
• Project Fees: Complex multidisciplinary projects (AI + software + robotics) could run into the $100K–$1M range per project. Folarin’s advertised small projects ($8K–$25K) would scale up by 10×–100× at enterprise level.
• 2026 Revenue: With global scaling, peak annual revenue could be in the hundreds of millions USD (on the order of $0.2–1.1 billion as a rough range above). This contrasts his own target of $0.32M . Even capturing ~0.1–0.5% of large markets (consulting, AI, robotics) would yield $100–500M.
• Valuation: At such scale, Folarin Inc might be valued in the high single-digit to low double-digit billions. For reference, tech/consulting peers (Apple, Google, Nvidia) have multi-trillion and trillion valuations , and OpenAI was pegged at $80B .  If Folarin Inc’s innovations are deemed similarly world-changing, a $20–50B valuation is conceivable; conservatively, even $5–10B would reflect a ~10–20× revenue multiple.
