Mentorship motivation
- I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
- I want to make new connections for myself and/or the organization I represent
- I want to scout for new opportunities in engaging as an advisor or for a board seat
I firmly believe that the prosperity of the African continent is dependent on the number of high-growth entrepreneurs, and market-creating innovations and ventures that we can build. I think my role is to back those who are building – it is more effective to fulfilling my life’s assignment.
