Mentorship motivation
- I am looking for new investments
- I like to learn about industries and new businesses
- 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 am a firm believer that solutions to challenges that plague mankind are best resolved by those that face the challenges. So, Africans can solve their challenges with genuine support and mentorship. As a founder, I know how hard it is to run business and would like to give back in way of experience I bring.
At the same time, I know that the challenges that plague Africa and the world at large are not challenges that can be addressed by one individual or one gender. Therefore, by mentoring as many of us as possible, we can all contribute positively to the elevating humanity from their challenges.
