Earlier today, I had the pleasure of supporting a Dream VC alumni-run initiative, where I was interviewed at a fireside chat alongside 20+ founders from #startups and #SMEs across Africa, a session at the @upticktalent Startup School Program, by a former Dream VC fellow, Glory @tifeglory. With a vast number of small and medium businesses in Africa often falling between the cracks, as neither 'hobby ideas' nor 'scalable tech startups', and therefore struggling to find contextually relevant guidance on how to deal with specific business challenges - we had a lot to discuss. It was an interesting experience, as Glory and I explored questions related to startup formation, operational, growth hacking, experimentation and fundraising questions - after first identifying some of the key management, operational and financing issues in most SMEs. A pleasure hearing questions from active entrepreneurs, founders, builders and tech enthusiasts like Awhanto, John, Amos, Evariste, Chits and more. Good luck with your future growth everyone and let's keep in touch. And should any of you choose to walk the other path, and join the investment space, as emerging investors in the future, I'd welcome you to look at Dream VC and our programs. As always, interest forms are live on our website at

Multiple exchanges, inc. EGX, NGX, JSE & CSE are also seeking to collaborate upstream with the VCxPE space, with: 1) Maturing Industries 2) Increased Corporate VC Interest in Tech 3) Rising Need For Domestic R&D Contributing to this opportunity. Exciting! ๐Ÿ“ทBourse de Casablanca
