She founded the Garden Women's Network, a group dedicated to the development and retention of high-performing women in the Nigerian tech ecosystem.   In this episode, you’ll learn:  What’s it like to be a minority Female Venture Capitalist raising a fund to invest in African Startups?  Does a typical Silicon Valley Venture Capital fund structure work in Africa?  Which countries in Africa have a thriving startup ecosystem?  What are some difficulties facing African entrepreneurs?  How do African startups expand into new markers?  We would like to thank Nigel Salina who made the introduction that allowed the interview to happen.   HELP US OUT!  Help us reach new listeners by leaving us a rating and review! It takes less than 30 seconds and really helps our show grow, which allows us to bring on even better guests for you all!
