About

Hello, my name is Eric, and I’ve spent the last 15 years building a social agriculture company and a payments solution. Recently, I’ve become increasingly interested in the eCommerce sector, particularly in the rapidly growing markets of Africa and Europ/America, where digital commerce is driving significant economic transformation.

I’m passionate about supporting early-stage eCommerce startup founders during their setup phase, as I believe that mentorship can provide critical insights and support at this stage. My interests include fintech, social media platforms, Web3, and the evolving landscape of eCommerce in these vibrant regions.

I look forward to working with innovative entrepreneurs who are shaping the future of online commerce and making a meaningful impact in these emerging markets!
