I'm the Regional Manager for Africa at Seedstars, the biggest platform for entrepreneurs in technology in emerging markets. Seedstars is active in 20+ African countries and 75 countries across the world to find the best early stage startups, analyze local ecosystems and work with public and private partners to invest in and support entrepreneurs locally and across the world through a variety of competition, acceleration, incubation and education programs.

We mostly focus on how technology is solving local and/or regional industries across various industries (agritech, edutech, insuretech, healthtech, cleantech etc.)

In 2016 I have screened over 1000 startups and mentored close to 200 entrepreneurs.
