Dina Kikuli

With a decade of experience in business development and social entrepreneurship, I am deeply committed to mentoring because I believe in the transformative power of strategic guidance and strong partnerships. As a Senior Business Development Manager at Anza Entrepreneurs, I lead accelerator programs that support venture growth and scalability. My focus areas include business development, where I craft and execute growth and market expansion strategies, and social entrepreneurship, where I support ventures addressing critical societal issues. I specialize in preparing startups for investment, guiding them through fundraising processes, and fostering valuable partnerships. My passion for innovation and technology drives my involvement in projects such as up-scaling wound care products and addressing malnutrition with nutritious instant porridge. Mentoring allows me to share my expertise, helping entrepreneurs avoid pitfalls and accelerate their success, ultimately contributing to the positive impact they make in their communities.

What motivates me to mentor is the opportunity to share my knowledge, experiences, and skills with aspiring entrepreneurs and professionals. I am driven by a passion for empowering others to succeed, guiding them through challenges, and helping them achieve their goals. Mentoring allows me to make a positive impact by fostering growth, inspiring innovation, and building strong relationships within the entrepreneurial community.
