TENTANG EPISODE INI

What does it take to build a startup that works in Africa? Entrepreneur and investor Victor “Big Chief” Asemota joins Amy Jo Kim to share why solving real problems matters more than copying other startups or chasing investor approval.

In this short episode, Victor explores what founders can learn from nonprofits, why he values originality and deep domain knowledge, and how Africa’s diverse markets shape the opportunities ahead. His advice: resist building a Swiss Army knife. Find a simple problem and solve it well.
