About

Ian Dullu Jillo.

Built an agency, a lead intelligence tool, a consumer brand, and a community platform — all before finishing school.

The origin

Ian graduated from Aga Khan Academy Mombasa in May 2026 with an IB Diploma — Economics, Global Politics, Computer Science. But the real education happened outside the classroom.

While his peers were studying, he was also managing 72-person teams, closing commercial sponsorships, shipping consumer products, and building automated business systems from his room in Kilifi. The DR.DULLU brand documents every step — every system, every cost, every failure — so the next generation of African founders doesn't have to start from zero.

Timeline

Four years. Built in public.

2022

Started building.

Taught himself web development, DNS, APIs, and content strategy alongside a full IB curriculum. First freelance clients. First sites shipped.

2023

Kitenge Treasures + Hult IBS.

Launched an eco-friendly consumer brand from scratch — supply chain, pricing, direct sales — generating 312,000 KES across 200+ transactions while still in school. That same year competed in the Hult IBS × Dolce & Gabbana global challenge and reached the semi-final against university-level teams.

2024

Production Manager. 72 people. 1.03M KES.

Led every department of Aga Khan Academy's flagship annual theatre production — marketing, finance, logistics, partnerships. The production raised over one million Kenya shillings for community charity. Simultaneously appointed Resident Captain, responsible for welfare and culture across 100+ boarding students.

2025

Shipped DDi and 4unter.

Built Dullu Digital — an automation agency running on under $100/month in tools. Built 4unter, a proprietary lead intelligence platform that scrapes, enriches, and AI-scores 500+ qualified prospects per search. Both live. Both generating.

2026

IB Diploma. Coaching systems. Going global.

Graduated from Aga Khan Academy with the IB Diploma in May 2026. Now building full coaching system infrastructure for high-ticket coaches and consultants in the UK and US — the backend that lets a $500k coaching business run without an ops team.

Client Work
