Sheel Tyle sees entrepreneurship as a sustainable and transformational means of social change on a day-to-day basis. Although he was born in California, Tyle’s parents emigrated from North India to the United States in search of opportunity.
The Tyles moved around a lot, taking bold risks and continuously building. Not only did their perambulations give Sheel the gift of adaptability, but they also taught him about empathy. Throughout his childhood, Sheel saw empathy applied in the most practical way: the Tyle family received generous support from others willing to give them a chance and help them reach their goals.
According to Sheel, success is the product of a supportive community. In a continuation of this trust and support, Sheel founded the venture capital company Amplo, which has a hand in Andela, Robinhood and Two Chairs. Sheel, who also serves as Amplo’s CEO, helps entrepreneurs around the world build companies that make a difference, with the realisation that entrepreneurship knows no boundaries.
