Show Notes

In this episode, we sit down with Kristin Wilson, a seasoned entrepreneur and investor, to discuss the challenges and opportunities of building startups in Africa.

Kristin shares her insights on the common mistakes co-founders make, the importance of transparency and accountability, and the need for founders to tackle tough problems in Africa.
