Guest Speaker: Kris Senanu
From his LinkedIn is very appropriate:
Africa is not short of Capital, just without investment-ready scalable businesses.
Hear me out, in my years investing in African enterprises I have witnessed the deployment of Billions across the continent with the headline almost always stopping at; Business lacking structure and unit economics or Pursuit of growth without operational discipline.
The Result? Deployed Capital without Value Creation.
-Kris Senanu
