The Anatomy of The Startup Leap 🚀
Starting a company is hard, it's scary. Open to see a resource that may be a companion as you go and some life updates on my end :)
Hello People 👋🏾
It’s been a while. Many things happened, and although I still write, AfroPitchPrep hasn’t gotten as much love as i’d have liked. So I thought to say hello!
Two major life updates on my end;
First; I launched OpenseedVC, a $10m fund which invests up to $150k in experienced operators across Europe and Africa, and brings an operator network to support from start to launch.
We did a first close, and have made our first two investments; read more here
Secondly; Launched a podcast called The Startup Leap 👋🏾
The podcast is for bold operators thinking of starting their own thing, we share real, raw stories from other operators and builders who have taken the leap.
Our first two episodes are “meet the host” series where we the hosts interview each other :)
I share a lot about my journey from Operator (Uber, Branch) to Investor and Founder of my fund openseed.vc 👇🏾
Yvonne shares a lot about her journey from South London to Global Unicorn Investor in startups like wise, Flutterwave and marshmallow.
